Good job man, looks really nice.
Next time you come out riding I gotta check out this "designed by a chick" thing.
Now all you need to complete the bling-factor is a set of these:

my friend's Giro has the designed by a chick decal too, it's a fairly normal thing for Bianchi bikes
the frame looks nice, i always dug the chrome but hated the white decals on it.

I just went out into the garage and checked my Pista.
Yes, I have a "100% Chick Designed" decal too.
Cool.
How could I have not seen it before?
I had thought about buying that decal and putting it on my bike, but I couldn't find it anwhere.
What if I had found it on the internet and bought it?
Then, when it arrived, I could have taken it in hand and searched for a good, inobtrusive place to put it.
I don't see it as sexist at all, but rather the opposite.
A little somethin' to get people thinkin'.

I suspect the "chick" who designed the Pista doesn't like the work "chick," either.
Chick Pride?
