I had to dig up this thread for an update. So after two years of having this second pista frame, I cracked it again, in the same spot. Apparently this is a recurring theme with these frames. I ride a lot, but I don't believe I have put them through extreme circumstances. Anyway, again, my LBS contacted Bianchi and they sent me a brand new frame... Its not the same color (black instead of blue) but they upgraded me to the 2011 model. I gotta say, another win for Bianchi's customer service, but I will likely never buy another one of their frames, no matter how much I love riding them. This my third frame in as many years....not normal. At least I didn't have to pay for the replacements....
