Although I wonder how a 42 mm rake would effect the handling of a pista.
I put a 43mm rake carbon fork on my Pista (we're talking Bianchi, right?) and it handles like a whole different bike -- for the better, in my opinion. It seems "quicker" and more nimble, yet still stable. Plus, the carbon fiber helps smooth out the ride.
