my bike is a schwinn from anywhere between 1950 and 1970. personally i think it looks pretty late 50s or early 60s, but it gets the job done. plus it has the swept back handlebars which i love. biking to work is already a shitty enough experience without the added discomfort of bending over small stick handlebars like i'm pretending to be a closed track athlete

you're full of fucking shit and you know it

you didn't spray that frame and that's not a bianchi. the finish is way too smooth to be a home job so unless you have a paint booth or some shit you're full of it

on top of that, if you were able to afford a bianchi frame and you wanted that color, you would have just ordered a Celeste colored bianchi instead of buying one and then "spraying" it.

finally, the tube diameter is a dead giveaway. that is not a bianchi frame. that is a straight gauge steel frame. bianchi dropouts are also much beefier than that

Well judging from your cage and seat post bag you're using it as a commuter or for light rides, right? If so there's nothing wrong with Rival; unless you're a CAT 4 ringer or better, upgrades are pretty unnecessary.

Why tho, I think fixed gear is just another part of the sport. The guys that get the off the shelf "fixies", that have no idea about cycling and could not assemble a bike if their life's depended on it are the true fuccbois.
Id like to ride fixed gear just as serious as I ride road, I have two old steelframe roadbikes they are fun but im looking for something more modern.

my kilo was just under 20lbs. they are extremely light frames for being steel which is why they are so popular.. the frameset can also be found for $200
