FYI the Fuji track appears to have road geometry in comparison to the Pista.
The Bianchi Pista Concept has 383mm stays in size 59 ( I think regular Pista has short stays also)
I think it also depends on the rider position on how long the stays should be. If the rider is forward on the bike you want the wheelbase shifted forward also to keep balance. Road bikes are different and since the positioning is more to the rear they tend to have longer stays.
Short stays are also said to help power transfer.
I think on a track bike for racing I'd want the shorter stays if it helps balance the bike. Long stays kind of make sense due to the fact it really is road geometry not track geomnetry.
