Hey there, no problem at all, though you need a special tool to set the omniums (on any framset). Waiting to see your bike complete..!

Thanks Uninc! How are you liking the riding quality with the Gazztta?

Posted over 11 years ago

Uninc750

Uninc750 says:

It sure is awesome - light, stiff, fast and aggressive. But then again I am not experienced, its my first track/fixed gear bike as I've mentioned and I 've only had it for a week...

PandaBear says:

Seems like a very stiff ride and I hear great reviews on them. I am really looking into building one as well. How tall are you?

Posted over 11 years ago

Uninc750

Uninc750 says:

I am 175cm (5' 8 ?) and size 52 is great for me. I think it's a great value-for-money choice.
I 'd also like a SuperPista like yours but they're not available in Europe.

PandaBear says:

I am around 5'9 so a 52cm would work for me too.

Uninc750

Uninc750 says:

Thanx! The chain is ok and cheap as fuck (bought it for 8€)! The front wheel weights 930g and rides really well.
