Green OTP Bianchi Pista - London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

edscoble · 26th July 2008

I was searching about in Google and I came upon a "Bianchi Pist Flat Bar", not only that it have a nice vivid lime green paintjob and a subtle lugged fork;

How come no one hear about it? or is it just me?

I found it via this

tynan · 27th July 2008

Never seen that before ?

Looks nice, lime green frames are this years NJS bottom brackets.

JDB · 27th July 2008

Looks good, can't believe I said that about a Pista. Does this mean that deep rims are out, and skinny rims are the new black?

2009 is going to be all about 'rimless', just spokes straight on to tyres.

nimhbus · 27th July 2008

skinny rims have been the new black for at least a year already..

andyp · 27th July 2008

It's probably next year's model - the majority of bike manufacturers start publishing details of their range for next year in August, just prior to the trade shows in September.

:O

That's actually quite nice.

Archi Pelago · 27th July 2008

I like that. But then I am one of the 1000's of 'johnny come latelys' riding about town on a Chrome Pista (albeit the only thing left from OTP is the frame and forks!)

MrSmith · 27th July 2008

a pair of drops and some white bar tape and it's almost respectable

rocksteady · 27th July 2008

Nice but not so sure about the colour.

edscoble · 27th July 2008

it actually a 2008 model.

someone already have one, the photo look fantastic with white velocity;

gusyup. · 27th July 2008

shoulda removed them fugly ass stickaz on the rims

edscoble · 27th July 2008

Dunno why a lots of people find that diffcuit to removed, unless they don't have white spirit in the house.

IRLeo · 27th July 2008

i've seen tourers with less clearance

miro_o · 27th July 2008

i've seen track bikes with more

Point?

Fakenger Opinion No. 1 - stem and seatpost v. nice.
Fakenger Opinion No. 2 - should change colour of the chain and the straps

dirkbang · 27th July 2008

I'm not a huge fan, but can't quite my finger on why... will reserve judgement until I see one up close.

IRLeo · 27th July 2008

loose is fine but baggy is just wrong

dirkbang · 27th July 2008

maybe better with some straighter forks?

dooks · 27th July 2008

i like the way the white tires show the dogshit really well.

vinylvillain · 27th July 2008

I believe its a Bianchi USA model, they have 4 or 5 SS in their line up beside the original Pista

if you look carefully, the fork is lugged and not the same as the actual Pista, methinks it's to make it a bit more comfortable around town? (the fork sit further out than usual).

vinylvillain · 27th July 2008

Further investigation reveals it to be a Japan only bike, and you can also get a drop bar version:

Ahh no wonder it took age for me to try and find it.

honestly I think they look great, simple, straightforward, not trying too hard to look like a HHSB like the Langster and the like.
