BSNYC Fixed-Gear Apocalypse Watch: The PistaDex

As you may know, I've been watching for signs of the Fixed-Gear Apocalypse for some time now. If you don't know what the FGA is, it is the day when the fixed-gear trend finally reaches the point of collapse and trendy cyclists the world over abandon their track bikes, conversions, and fixed-gear freestylers en masse for BMXes, vintage road bikes, recumbents with hydraulics, or whatever the next trend turns out to be. And in the spirit of public service, I've been sharing these signs with you so you can either abandon yours or swoop in and pick one up cheap, according to your own proclivities.

Of course, interpreting these signs can be very subjective--it's kind of like divining the future from sheep's entrails. This is why I'm proud to announce I've come up with a new, objective FGA indicator. It's called the PistaDex. Simply go to your local Craigslist Bikes for Sale section, search out all the Bianchi Pistas, and take the average of the prices at which they're being offered. That is your local PistaDex. A healthy PistaDex should be at or close to full Pista retail, or $579.99 for a 2007 model, and means the FGA is still a long way away. But should it fall below, say, $400, you'd better start shopping for a BMX. Let's take a look at the current PistaDices in our larger cities...

I'm trying to sell this bike to pay for a new fixie. I've got more sense of humor in my stool than you have in your whole body. Please don't derail this thread. If you want to discuss the virtues of "track bikes" and "ultrahipsterfixieism" we can do it in person...on the trail.
Thank you.


The bike is still for sale and I am considering some offers.
Thank you.

You've got more sense of humor than....what the hell does that mean?

I wasn't derailing a thread, you whiner, I was posting a perfectly related side-comment. This is what happens when you post on public forums--especially to sell something. So...again...chill out.

By the way, if it's any consolation, what I was saying in a round-about joking way with the first post is that your price is fantastic for the bike. It's a great bike at an un-heard-of-price. You'll have no problem selling it, even if someone "derails" your precious thread.
