he looks like a typical SF rider to me.....hopefully he rides the sh*t out of his bike and has more fun than anybody who makes fun of him on a stupid internet forum.

yeah, except this is prob a bianchi advertisement:

"be hip by riding this FIXED-GEARED bicycle"
(Then someone whispers "Bianchi")

chances are he never rode it.

Aside from the lack of clips and the myspace hair, I can't really find anything to rag on him about.

I think it's an ad for human trafficking.
Frankly I am appalled.

That's funny.
Half the stock Pistas I see riding around have platform pedals and the chain tension of a rope bridge.
I was at a street fair last weekend and stopped one such rider.
Hey nice bike is that a Pista? (decals were removed, stock seat gave it away)
Uh, yea.
Cool, what kind of hubs are those?
Uh, I dont know they came with the bike.
What gear are you running?
Uh, I don't know.
I see, listen I notice you removed the brake.
Uh, yea it's a fixed gear so I don't need one.
Yea, I noticed that too. I also noticed you chain is really loose, that's not too safe you should snug that up when you get a chance.
Uh, OK....rides off into traffic.

I have the same model, so I can tell- the wheels arent stock- they look worse. He turned the fork upside down to raise the handlebars. I doubt this is a bianchi ad.

without as much negativity as it sounds: who cares?

also, if you turn the fork upside down, you'll lower the handlebars quite a bit. and have extremely odd ride characteristics. would anybody with photoshop skills like to illustrate this, please?

Ok- ha ha ha. I mis-typed and you are all very funny. I meant a Pop Top type stem like this:

The one on the pista angles down, and when inverted will raise the level of the handlebars.

Maybe bianchi thinks that cigarettes are cool? I dunno. They don't think celeste is cool anymore, so I question their overall taste.
