Bianchi Pista Concept

Anyone know where I can find a Bianchi Pista Concept frameset in the UK ?

Failing that anywhere online ?

And failing that, anyone know where I might find a complete bike either here in the UK or anywhere else ?

Done the whole google thing, with no luck :(

Thanks for any information, much appreciated.

Haven't seen anyone dealing with Pista Concepts in the UK yet. Don't believe Bianchi are distributing them here, but I bet you could get one ordered from one from the states.

What are you looking for exactly? If you want a track specific machine then lots of places do them. Here are a small selection:

Planet X - http://www.planet-x-bikes.com/track/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=106. Can probably supply you a lot of the kit.
Dolan - Track champ, Pursuit champ - http://www.bikes-dolan.uk.com
Fort Frames - a sprint and an Aero/Persuit
Pinarello - Pista Alu, Prince Alu
Fuji Track Pro - http://www.awcycles.co.uk/brands/Fuji/Track_Pro_complete_bike_package/7485/index.aspx
Specialized Langster S-work
Omnium Sling
Ridley Oval
Nelson - http://www.cyclebasket.com/products.php?plid=m4b0s213p0
and on and on...

ooooh look - a list that smeear hasn't joined,

you're slacking fella : ]

that fuji track pro is a bargin!

Cheers for all the great info pip ! :)

I see they have the Bianchi Pista Concept on the US Bianchi website but not the UK/European one. :(

Still like you say, I could always order one from the US, I wonder if I could do it through a Bianchi dealer here in the United States of Britain ?

I have also looked at the Dolan Track Champion, very similar looking set up, but with slightly slacker angles than the Bianchi, might just do the trick.

Nice

Slacker angles.

That's one way of putting it....

Smeear Nelson.

Sounds like a wrestling move.

im going to the USA soon, i might be able to hook people up with hard to get stuff.

Good luck finding one- there's a massive shortage of these in the USA- The back order goes on forever.

Nice offer, much appreciated, post here if you find any. :)

I managed to get one on ebay after nearly 6 months of trying! It was shipped from Atlanta. They're not distributed in UK or anywhere in Europe in fact, right ballache to get hold of one.
You can always find them on ebay.com but the hardest thing is finding someone who'll ship to the UK, the rare ones that do always quote p&p between $450-$650 with UPS, fcuk that! I managed to find a guy that shipped with USPS for $175 - result! Then of course after finding a guy that will ship, you have to try and win it which is another battle in itself, especially with the time difference - I stayed up til 3am to make sure I got it! In the end I managed to get a BRAND NEW, UNUSED, 2006 model(celeste green), 57cm for £585 inc p&p! A touch if you ask me?!

I would love that bike!! It's my size and my favourite colour!!! Good Job!

Those bikes are born for the velodrome so you better start bringing that thing down to Herne Hill. Borrowed a friends once on a track in the US and you could really accelerate on it. Stiff, light and a fine track racing machine.

Not a huge fan of Alu frames normally but have a soft spot for the concepts. Nice score.

I live in Brixton and went down Herne Hill last Saturday morning but it wasn't on due to wet leaves on the track!? Realistically, can't see myself using it down there now til next year

Just thought I'd ask if anyone knew if you could get one over here yet? I search on ebay etc but to no avail. Craigslist is the only place I can find them but no one will ship over here.

i think asm was going to put in an order for some?

Whatever you do, don't use Bikyle

i think asm was going to put in an order for some?

I have paid ASM for a complete frameset, he said he should have them within a week or so, said he was getting 12.

• He is still doing that (in my opinion silly) thing where if you call him and order a frameset between 3am and 5am you get 15% off.
  

12 bikes? Where from?

did he ever find out about those Bianchi-branded aerospoke wheels?

Yeah, he should be getting them in the same shipment.

But to be honest, he has such a large selection of Aerospokes in at the moment I might be tempted to go for one of the custom colours, especially with the 15% off / 4am phonecall deal.

12 bikes? Where from?

Who knows to be honest, ASM has his fingers in so many pies, he can pretty much source anything.
