hey,

any ideas where i can buy an allen key bolt (needs to be 15mm) so i can attach my front brake? the bike shops around me didn't have a long enough size? any websites/ ideas?
cheers,

i knew it tasted funky

yup, tell me it.. i'd do it

ok, cheers, i'm riding fixed now so yeh, i'd want to do that - i think in an email he said there was room in the rear for a conversion. cheers for responses, but definitely not feeling the "love" towards it.

i've got a feeling its a free wheel for some reason, don't know why - just had that impression.
in reply to hippy : just my terminology not meant as a dictionary definition.

yeh, hippy your right, but i think there may be some discussion on it. why the hate?

haha.. jokers.. around 390 - too much?

my bad, not really accustomed to the etiquettes of this board, so not sure where i should have posted this. i'm thinking of buying it..

any opinions on this ?:

good point, didnt clock that at all

cool, always good to know i can check how they're doing

i'm a libran, have been through all types of ideas. been looking at building up my first bike with old school racing frames, all that but have got lazy and thought maybe just do the do with an "otp". ta ta for now

just to chuck in another element to the equation, any advice on the fuji track vs the bianchi?

thanks for those more direct answers. the ebay listing is up there and i have his number to make the call. its at 310 right now but he had a buy it now price of 400 before bidding started. i might be able to call and see if we can arrange a birthday deal.

but, yeh, if anyone is selling there's with a lower price that would be swell, but frank answers on the price and the bike itself would be awesome

haha... after reading some of the other forum posts i guess i didnt get quite as much shit as most.
but, basically, the frame will fit me will, being honest - im a big fan of the aesthetic looks of the bianchi but i wont be putting any damn lipstick on a pig...

how much should i be looking to pay for a bianchi pista with an upgraded sugino track crankset, new seat post and gold finger break?
guy is looking for 400? any advice. quick replies would be great so i can get my head sorted for today.
b day present to myself you see.
