Thanks for the input Carleton. That's exactly what I'm worried about - sluggish handling in a pack sprint. This is why I started this thread..
Finding a Bianchi Pista fork will be like a needle in a haystack.
Was looking at the Aplina stuff on DPM but only a Wing Pista is left, which breaks the bank a bit at $250+shipping. Everything else was sold out.
Leader makes a 30mm fork for $179. Get it from this guy:

Retro-Gression is run by a fellow bikeforums member (and former mod) named Scrod. I've order from him. Nice guy, good prices, fast shipping.
