Bianchi Pista Stockists, London

Does anyone know where in central London can I buy a Bianchi Pista, using the Cycle Scheme?

My work finally followed through on their 4 month promise of introducing the cycle scheme. I want to get a Pista, but only found 2 shops that sell it (apart from Evans - not on the cycle scheme) - one in Finchley and one in Putney.

Anyone know of anything a little more central, before I make a trek..?

a bike shop.

yeah, just about any bike shop, including evans.

i wouldn't bother with Trek if i were you...

I brought my Bianchi Pista in Evans' Victoria, they have some Bianchi there, methinks, phone up Evans and find out (unless from what your post implied, you can't use Evans?).

Yep, can't buy from Evans. I guess that most stores would be able to order one in, but I also assume that they would really expect me to buy it - I want to be able to test-ride it, and have the option of buying something else if necessary.

I guess I could test-ride at Evans, then purchase from somewhere else.

Anyone else have tips on stockists?

Try Edwardes Camberwell.

eBay

I thought Evans WERE on the cycle scheme, or is yours different?

My mate got his here, 2 days for delivery too, can't be bad

Evans have their own proprietary cycle scheme, they're not a part of the cyclescheme.co.uk one.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!

shrug i've been here a while dude. Just looking for a shop that sells a pretty common OTP bike. Couldn't find info from looking at bike shops' websites, so I thought I'd ask around on the forum before picking up the phone / going to stores and asking...

sigh. This took me a few minutes. http://www.cyclescheme.co.uk/employee,partner_finder.htm .

And the answer is........: http://www.bikeandrun.co.uk/bikeshop/product_info.php?cPath=73_53&products_id=936 (its in East Finchley; a few stops from Baker Str).

Yep, already did that - see OP. I was asking if anyone knew of a shop more central that was on the scheme and sold pistas.

Thanks for your help anyways.

Nowt else about.

So it would seem.

Putney, out of town, Jesus man you need to check yourself before you wreck yourself

It's miles away!! :-D

I live in NE and work in central, hence why I was looking for other options.

Yep, already did that ...

The website lists all the shops. Tube there, ride back in half the time. May even deliver.

It's miles away!! :-D

So what? I live in Wimbledon, I went as far as Victoria to pick up my Bianchi Pista, hell I was willing to go to Shoreditch Evans to pick one up.

you're only gonna pick it up just this once, just go to the one that was mentioned, sorry I was a bit rude, but frankly you're only going there once to pick it up, might as well make the journery.

I was just kidding around! I don't mind heading to Putney, I was just seeing if there was anything closer.

mattty, I've thought about it for several hours, and I thought I'd be honest with you. When asking a question here on this forum, it looks bad when people find out later that you already had all the answers yourself*. Its just a bit disingenuous is all.

*You had already checked out the website that shows ALL the bike shops within London (or anywhere else) that are supported by cycle-work scheme that your company is attached to.....THEN you ask if anybody else has a better answer?

Good luck with being taken seriously in the future. I know this will sound preachy, but I'm really not bothered; folks come on here to have fun, communicate, and be informed. You obviously think that laying wild goose-chases are fun for others. Have a rethink mate. I mean, you could be getting someone to stop their Solitaire, just to be helpful!

Its just a bit disingenious is all.
