This lightweight, fixed-gear track bike hails from Italy. The design, from the late 1970s, has recently had a strong resurgence in urban centers due to the simplicity of design and beautiful lines. When used as a street bike, riders must rely upon their own strength and weight to bring the brakeless bike to a halt.
