'Scattante' sounds like 'Get the F Outta Here' in Italian.

That is a good looking bike except for one thing. Lose the white bar tape. You don't want to be mistaken for a New Orleans pimp, do you?

I ride one. Love it.

You will only get compliments when you ride at the front.

not my cup of tea but tastefully done. Good job.

Agree, bars need some tweaking.

After a ten mile dial in ride (#1 of many i'm sure) bars have been tweaked as well as saddle/post position.

Argh, my bad.

This is what happens when you're searching something unrelated and open a bunch of stuff in tabs.
