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

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.

How much better would this thread be if OP was trying to stick some gears on his Pista?
