Bianchi Super Pista

i was hoping someone might know if theres anyone in the uk stocking the 2010 super pista. i had a bit of a search an couldnt find much.

cheers

as far as i know they're not going to be available in the UK just like the concepts. I should be getting one soon though :D

Give your local dealer a call and ask

are you getting it shipped from the states? i found a few u.s. sites that are selling them but didnt know how much it would end up costing with import duty and shipping.

yes its being shipped but i'm getting it on warrenty

hey chris, remember when you were poor? shakes fist

im still poor, i just want to spend some of my savings on something fun before its all swallowed up by rent.

anyone copped one of these in the UK yet?

No idea but there are better more readily available frame you can get here, like the Nelson Pista.

i has bin scobled - also, that's fully debatable.

Give how much it would cost, especially to imported from America, not really.

dude, what the fuck are you on about?

i don't want a nelson pista. i want a super pista. plain and simple.

Alright, find a way to import it to the UK then, like via ebay;

yeah, i just imagined someone having one in a shop that i could visually witness before buying one, only difficulty.

I get a bit funny in my pants when I see those bikes.

me too! i've found one that i'd buy - but they only have one so i'm not posting the link.

and it's a 55 :D and 450gbp. not bad. just waiting to hear about shipping.

ebay's got a few at like 471+

Shipping'll be about $100+ and then you'll have to pay about another £75-100 on top for VAT and handling fees

i still think it's worth it.

don't you have a concept? was it worth it for you?

can't you combine this with a weekend in the states?

Yes and No. Had two....

The 2nd was a cunt, paid $500 for the F&F when the $ was 2-1 to the £ so £250 but cost me £200 to pick the fucker up cos the melt's who sent it used some private Business firm to ship and hold at Heathrow - I had to go and pick up with ID(had to have my photo taken/security checked etc). Used some courier firm called Schenker http://www.schenker.co.uk/

First one was a complete bike off eBay and he used USPS International Priority and that was about $100 and like I said about £75/100 in VAT/handling fees

nelson, that would imply that a weekend in the states would only cost me like 200gbp.

can't even get there for that cheap. i'd love to combine it but i won't be doing so, although my brother is going to LA in september....

mind you i've just split my 2 bikes and am selling the bits and probably won't want to wait. :/

Here's the option;

etc. etc.

incidentally, the LOOK and the MASH pretty much cost as much as a Bianchi Super Pista (when included import and tax).

well this is my debate. i don't want the instant hipster tag from buying a cinelli :/ shame as they've got such lovely weld work and are awesome. also, 449 online? braw.

well this is my debate. i don't want the instant hipster tag from buying a cinelli :/

And you think you don't get the instant hipster tag from buying a Bianchi Super Pista that everyone want after seeing them ridden bizarrely on MASH?

My suggestion would be getting the MASH, and take it to Colourtech to get it respray in a completely different Cinelli paintjob that no one seen before.

or even try and get it in a day-glo colour like this;

Don't forget to put a cinelli decal and a happy face on the BB if you want to keep it authentic.
