Holy downtube clearance, Batman!

More pics of the Pelizzoli GP Pista I posted about recently, now built up.

I'm impressed. Def not 'a street fixie, comfortable enough for commuting and longer rides with enough room for bigger tires...' like what everyone is producing nowadays. Italian classic track bike, anyone?

Pelizzoli GP Pista 2011

Giovanni Pelizzoli. Who? Mr. Ciöcc, legendary Italian framebuilder is apparently starting to build classic style steel frames again, both road and track models, under his own name. Here are first shots of the new Pelizzoli GP Pista. Keep an eye here and here if you're feelin' deez steeds. I know I will.
