haha,

not slating, the plug was just surprisingly heavy.

Might be a good thing for a lot of people whoe are either big, or into that fix-gear-free styling shenanigans..

I think a lot of off the peg ones are simarlarly heavy, I was looking at a schwinn madison but everyone says that weighs a ton aswell.

The Bianchi pista is made of plain guage steel so I imagine thats heavy although I havent felt one.
