I was poking around the internets this morning and came across this photo: http://flickr.com/photos/freebeets/10656023/

It's a Pista in Japan. In Celeste.



I did some digging around and found Bianchi's Japanese site. And there they are, Pistas in Celeste and the Pista Concept in a different two tone colour as well:

Notice that the Pista in Japan has a very nice fork compared to the "bow-legged" fork they have here. AND it comes stock with a Fizik Arione saddle. It also has a seat collar it looks like so it's not integrated.

That Pista Concept is decked out in Campy and Deda parts!

Again, the Japanese are rocking the cooler colours and bikes.
