yeah, i know this is a long shot but i might as well throw it out there. id like to buy a Bianchi pista but im not a big fan of chrome... id be stoked if i came across a 2003 pista but the chances of me running into one are miniscule. anyone know of any LBS that still have older models? know of anyone selling one aside from ebay deals? im looking for a 51.

i know, i know... there are other bikes out there in the same price range but from what ive heard from others, the bianchi pista is the best of the entry level fixies. i think the soma rush is a nice bike but there are no dealers here in md. i dont think i need something as heavy duty as the steamroller, plus its a lot more expensive.

ill just keep riding my road conversion till i find something better. hopefully, bianchi will put out another color other than chrome (guy from bianchi said theyd probably carry chrome through 05 but could possibly offer another option) and i could pick one up next year. damn, thats a wait.
