For Sale: Bianchi Pista

Posted on
  • I have taken the plunge and have had a Mercian hand built thus I need some cash. I have a Bianchi Pista '06 for sale that has been sitting around for a few weeks as it is way too small for me. I ride 57cm, this is a 53cm (bianchi 53cm, measured top to center I think).

    The bike is pretty much stock, apart from a dashing set of yellow Schwalbe tyres. It now has no bar-tape or grips, but I will throw in an un-opened pack of Bianchi Green tape for those who may be that way inclined.... There are also no pedals with the sale.

    Let me know if u are interested either in this thread, or via email (jon at editopen dot co dot uk) or phone (07773558993). There are some more pics here. I'm looking for £280, or nearest offer.... I just thought I'd offer it up here before Ebay so that she may get a lovely home as she is sexy and deserves a good ride! Which is more than I can give her with the new Miss Mercian on the way!

  • i really want it! ahhhhhhh

  • More details on the mercian project please!!!

  • Jon
    I emailed you this morning at 10am, any news if we can do a deal yet?

  • This bike has now been sold - thanks to all for your interest - especially to those who really wanted it :-)

  • thats a relief, saves me buying it!

  • aidan thats a relief, saves me buying it!

    lol I thought you had just bought that Claude Butler!! It's going to cost u a pretty penny to fix it up!

  • i agree with what aidan says it is a relief when somebody else buys a bike one likes otherwise there is always the chance you might give in to temptation !!

    i think it relates back to a mathematical equation for ..... the optimal number of bikes to own as quoted on fixedgeargallery = n+1 where n is the number of bikes you own

    it's worse than crack

  • It is that bad. I haven't even got my new wheels yet, nor ordered the new bottom bracket. And when those things happen the Bob Jackson is finished and cannot be improved (atmo).

    Yet last night I was surfing around, playfully toying with the idea (it always starts like this) of perhaps getting a Yamaguchi.

    I was also toying (again) with the idea of sending my Serotta back to the factory to have the frame taken apart, geometry changed slightly, track ends fitted and sent back to me.

    The worst bit is that I know I'll end up buying a Japanese track bike every time I see that Level that won the fgg award. And I know I'll never harm my Serotta, instead I'll pretend that a new titanium fixed time trial bike would be more cost efficient.

    My wife will kill me.

    Well, she would if she'd just come back to the country!

  • velocity boy My wife will kill me.

    OMFG! I've only been married three months and I'm already turning into a bike husband cliché.

  • dicki i agree with what aidan says it is a relief when somebody else buys a bike one likes otherwise there is always the chance you might give in to temptation !!

    I was the one that gave in to temptation, and bought it! Will pick it up tonight and will post pics when i've done it up...

  • is this still for sale ,i don't want to buy it i was just wondering?

  • i can swap it for a unicorns leg

  • comedy, but time could be better spent watching ashes....

  • cricket aint my bag

  • Wtf?

  • There was a batch of bumped very, very old classifieds Big African Conehead.

  • More fucking stupidity, followed by a wanky parody thread/bump?

    How original.

    What time at the c&h?

  • this bike sold two and a half years ago.. but yes, 53 is probably your size

  • go to Evans and they will let you ride many different bikes of different sizes for FREE

  • if you want an exact size you're going to have to go to a framebuilder who will take 10-15 measurements of your body to build a custom frame. based on your height and inseam, 52-54 is your off-the-peg size. most companies build in 2cm increments so you aren't going to get any better than that without a custom build
