I’ve ridden 1000+ miles on my Speciale commuter since may 1st 09. Got it for 435 at my LBS. best deal on earth. Commute everyday, put a rack and a basket on it and fill it up with food and ride 20 miles to a bbq. Anything and everthing. And I haven’t even put any gears on it yet. Best bike ever.

Does it come with a 16t rear cog along with the freewheel? Or do you have to buy one after purchase.

OK, I bought one. After the test ride I couldn’t part with it. Curse you Masi!!

I’d like to just get the orange frame and build it myself!

I just got one. Put Bullhorn bars and 700/25s on it. Handles like a sports car, rides like a luxury car. Unbelievably great around town and with a rack excellent for my 8 mile commute to work.

Question:

Drop-out adjusters included? Drilled for them?

I’m riding a 70′s horizontal dropout frame without them right now, and I curse the lack of pins every time I fix a flat…

Geometry looks great, too. I’d buy a frameset if it was available, but not a whole bike.

I like my Brooks, Thomson, Ritchey Biomax, V-brakes, Ultegra/Open Pros, XTR rear der. all way too much to downgrade

If it has clearance for fenders and rack mounts, and sells as a frame only, I would def buy it. Basically it would take the place of the Bianchi San Jose as the most desired drop bar fixie for internal gear-fying, a la San Jos8!

This is much better looking
