Bianchi Pista as standard OR Fuji 'track' with wheel upgrade?

i need to make a decision, my options are either the Bianchi Pista (providing i can find it in green or blue) OR i could get a Fuji 'Track' and use the extra money to do a wheel upgrade?

what are peoples thoughts.

Neither.

Next.

seriously. you keep asking the same questions. don't mean to be rude, but just go and try em both. see what you like better and make a decision yourself. what's going to matter in the end is how much YOU like it.

Mate, no offense, but this is the third thread you have started on the same topic - to try to get people to help you choose a bike, and at the end of the day it will be your decisions / instincts / whatever you follow anyway.
:)

fuji. u cant get a pista in green or blue new and will be really hard to find in the uk. just go to a shop and try them we dont all have the bikes we dont know what there like.

I can't speak for the Fuji '08 wheels, but my Fuji '07 wheels are perfectly adequate once I upgraded from the Kenda tyres.

Thanks, i think its a safe bet that i will get a fuji 08, its a 21st birthday present so i wanted to do some research to make sure the money being spent was spent wisely

sorry if ive annoyed people by posting a couple of things about this.

Im in the exact same quandrary as you!

First thought a Bianchi pista in the green looked goreous and a bargain but couldnt find anywhere that stocked it.

• Gave me time to look carefully and I realised that its a well ordinary kinda bike with a nice paintjob - not worth the extra £'s
  
  

Then realised the Fuji track 07 was pretty much the same exact bike, and at £270 on ebay left me a pile of £'s to customise/stop it looking like poo.

Then, I saw the 08 Fuji, and my god its gorgeous! and comes with a nice looking Ahead. Stylized lean & modern like a new school BMX.

My only qualm would be that it has machined rims, I have no doubt they are good wheels, its just a aesthetic "fashion" thing. Im just gonna buy it and paint em!

Im just figuring the size I need now, as nowhere near me sells em.

Fuji have a size/fit guide on their website you can use:

Could it be that the green bike you've seen is in fact the bianchi pista's sexy cousin the bianchi pista CONCEPT?

buy the one that looks the best. feels the best. seems the best. is the best. the "best" is defined by what you like, which can be anything.

ive already figured it out, for myself anyway it seems

Fuji track 08 and then whenever i get around to it, sell the wheels and buy some deep v's and a moustache bar.

perfect for what i expect out of it.

Actually I was wrong - there is a green 08 bianchi pista - probably only available in the states though...

I was wondering if anyone knows of any online stores in the uk that have weinmann or velocity deep v's at a decent price?

Or his mate G. Oogle

...now should I have chips or

'decent price' and 'deep vs' are uneasy bedfellows.

got mine for $40 each :D

they look tight and ive heard good things about them.

all i need to do now is convince some american do declare them as a "gift"

talk to bens cycles

deep vs are about 35 quid each, rims only. Duno about weinmann.

you can get the gang green pista in the UK, at least you used to be able to. Whats wrong with chrome?!?!?!?!?!!?!!?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

and cuppa t:

*USE THE SEARCH BUTTON AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD*.

^lol

:>

its funny cos deeps V's are seen as embrassingly shit on any other kind of bike. Be it MTB or BMX etc.

DUNAE BAN ME!!!

this is the first forum ive used, im still getting used to how things work.
i think ive got the grasp now, give me a second chance...

...LORD GIVE ME A SECOND CHANCE!

p.s - ive never attempted to build a wheel before, on a scale of 1 - 10, how hard is it? providing im ginger aswel.....
