The Bianchi Pista has "real" track geometry. You are right. I have had track frames designed to be ridden for pursuit or large tracks(>330m) with very laid back geometry compared to the Bianchi. The Bianchi is a very "std." track design. With a 28mm fork rake(1 1/8") you bet it is designed for the track. It just so happens to have a frt brake hole drilling so people assume it can't be a "serious" track bike. By the way, I have the exact same bike, exact same size as yours and every angle is on spec. Does your pista have a decal on the back of the seattube that say's "chick designed"?
