There's a fellow in our local club with a Cristini. He's had it for a bit and still raves about it. Haven't rode with him yet.

Yeah, but the Christini doesn't have those Rokon "starflake" mag wheels that some models came with.

Yeah I saw these a couple of years ago, looks to me like just something else that can break on a bike.
