It's my first Bianchi and I can actually say that I am pleased with the 2005 Bianchi Pista. I would buy it again and may buy another Bianchi Pista next year if a Celeste Color Version is made. I think that it's a great value for the price.
Nah, just frustrated with Bianchi a bit. Too many cut corners at a premium price, like the '04 Axis. The Pista is priced OK though. I built a Soma Rush but it would have been less costly going with a Pista.
