Default SOLD...Bianchi Pista Track bike
SOLD
I bought this on E-bay for 400 and have rarely used it. I put on a Brookes saddle and new bars/wrap with a Soma front lever and generic caliper.
It's a 57cm.
$300 is a fair STR price.
Why am I selling it? I have a new project in mind, ala Offroadie!

That's less than half of what I got my track bike for.


You're going to cause a tremendous drop in the PistaDex Ben.

Coool bike. I'm looking to get a fixed gear soon, but this might be too big. I ride a 54 road bike.

Also I dig the bull horns. Thats the true punk fixie style

I ride a 54 also. This bike is surprisingly small for a 57. I believe track bikes to be sized with shorter top tubes.

This is a killer deal, especially with the Brooks.

According to this:
http://www.bianchiusa.com/08_pista.html

A 57cm Pista will have a 56 cm top tube. It doesn't seem too crazy. It looks like the size is based on seat tube.

track bikes usually have shorter top tubes, they are designed to keep your weight centered on the bike even though the bb height is high and the fork rake is low, along with the chainstays being short.

bianchi pistas, although crazy popular with the whole fixie (read: lemme put some short mtb risers and dumb colored rims) trend, still have a very track friendly geometry.
