Did you buy a new Pista, then came across an old Nishiki Frame and swapped all the parts over? Not bad!

yep, built this bike up for my girlfriend w a bunch of spare parts i had laying around. Picked up the frame over on craigslist for 20 bucks, then my gf and i shaved all the braze-ons, stripped it, and painted it her favorite color yellow and added a silver metallic to the clear coat.

Cool! That's what I'm planning to do. As I upgrade my Pista, whatever components are still usable will end up on a frame for my wife. A good excuse to upgrade parts!
