My knees hurt just looking at it. Yet, it remains strangely appealing.....

some dude posted a runt mini bike on the fixed gear gallery a while back, but for the last hour I've been searching and I can't find it for the life of me, it was really neat looking too (similar to this)... I thought I had saved the pic's of it but...
does anyone know which number it was? it was similar to the above bike only had mini suspension as well, and he had properly fixed it

Thanks for the compliments gents; covet those bikes more than I ought. Yep, that's the Merckx that got scratched. Never heard back from them. SOB's. Ah Well, life is good when you've got a bike you love.

here goes...
bianchi pista, 2005.
replaced the stock wheels with custom ones -- phil hubs (fixed 17/fixed 19) and aerohead rims (white, totally rare).
swapped out the crazy seat and common seatpost for white carbon. totally silly.
added shimano sante (white, of course) brakes and levers.
swapped out the stock headset with a chris king one.
next up is a set of crank brothers candy sl pedals (the stock pedals on the pista are crap), and a carbon fork, painted white (on the outside... i think i'll leave the inside carbon).
i love going fixed. i can't stop telling people how cool it is.
