Is it wrong to run a Bianchi pista as a singlespeed?

It IS a fricking singlespeed.. it only has a chainring, cog and a chain. That is ONE SPEED.

Taking the common use of the term singlespeed to mean freewheel, then all you need to do is swap the cog for a freewheel and you have your precious singlespeed. Sheesh.

Paypal-only.

Is this really how it is? I think it is quite wrong to make the guy swallow flak for that specific thing. I'm pretty sure most people -- even the ones in the know -- would say a "fixed gear" is not a "single-speed", even though there is only one gear/speed.

I've nothing to say about the rest of the content in this thread as it seems some things are more allowed than others.

Do carry on.
