Your cog is slipping.
A Bianchi Pista frame is garbage compared to the Wabi.

Thanks guys, I agree the Wabi looks killer ! I will possibly go for the special, due to sold the classic being sold out, but have to check about the international shipping first.

I have a Wabi classic and would definitely recommend it. Customer service is excellent (emails are answered very quickly), and excellent bike. I've done a few centuries on it now. Great bike. Parts are good, especially for the price. I've changed out the saddle and handlebars, but everything else has been solid thus far.

The Wabi Special is now in order and should arrive in a week. Now I am contemplating which pedals to use. I`ve been looking into these: https://www.amazon.com/Shimano-PD-A53...pr_product_top mainly because of the dual option. Any opinions?

I've never had any experience with those pedals but I say why not? It seems pretty convenient having both on one pedal. Platform for cruising/grocery days and the clipless for hard training days!

I just took a look at the Wabi special and now I'm not sure what to get. I was originally thinking of getting a Cinelli Mystic Rats 2013. Then I also was looking at the Kona Paddy Wagon. Does anyone have an opinion on which of these would be better suited for urban riding.

The paddy wagon would be better suited because it has fender eyelets and better tire clearance for wider tires.
Not sure about wabi's but I can squeeze 32mm's onto my paddy wagon with ample room to spare front and back.
It's also at a cheaper price point I believe.
BUT then again if you want the best bang for your buck, at the moment for a great urban bike is the kilo WT which is on sale via preorder @ bikesdirect for less than half of what you're going to pay for either of the two you mentioned.
