If you live in a comparatively prosaic city, a single-speed bike is a wonderful idea. But if you live in any modern city, dropping $1,200 on aluminum-framed fashion-bike may isn't so smart.
The bike is a "collabo" between the wardrobe firm Diesel and the bicycle firm Pinarello. Somewhat ironically, since its lightweight steal-ability, it is called the "Only the Brave Bicycle". Or maybe the word "brave" refers to any person bold sufficient to take this sight out on the streets. It inherits a of the worst day to day of fixed-gear fashion: odd-colored wheels. we always insincere that mis-matched wheels existed because the owners was saving up is to gaudy second half of a set, but maybe not.
That frame, too, is ugly. With its curved top-tube and collapsed seat-stays it looks similar to it has been pre-crashed. Perhaps this style-point came from Diesel, the bicycle homogeneous of distressed, pre-worn jeans?
Thankfully, you can opt for an all-black version, but it still suffers from the little frame. It may still be most appropriate to prevent this model in preference of a inexpensive DIY model formed on an aged steel support from Craigslist: When a press let go ends similar to this…
[Diesel] make[s] people feel cozy and we make people feel tired...but we share the conventional Italian creativity and the regular request to stupefy and astonishment our clients!
… and fails to speak of a singular spec of a bike that expenses over a grand, your warning bells should beginning a-ringin'.
