48/17 on a bike that has no brakes and screams velodrome is one thing,
but on a street ride with two brakes? That's just 'toopid. Agree on the
fender issue. For $300 less you can get a Redline 925. Four pounds
heavier, but ya get fenders and spec that basically makes the bike
durable enough to be called an appliance. If I wanted to go light and
fast, I'd go for a Pista with a front brake instead of the Capo. Only
thing that stands out are the sweet high flange hubs. Those are
certainly pretty.
