I believe most of Bianchi later Pistas say late '90s when a "fixie" became hip were track geomentry but drilled for brakes. The internal cable is another matter.
Any pics of the dropouts?
I'll take a few more pictures in just a second, any other parts of the bike you'd like me to take a picture of while I'm in the garage? Thanks for replying! My friend steered me towards posting on this site and said hopefully you would chime in!
