I don't think that Bianchi is actually made by Maxway, they don't list Bianchi as a company they manufacture for. I used Maxway as an example of the kind of company that makes bikes to spec, but it could be Ideal or a handful of other manufacturers who specialize in steel.

Anyway, who the heck are you, Edoardo Bianchi? How on earth would you know what goes on behind the scenes at Bianchi? With the exception of TIG-welding and a unicrown fork, the Pista is virtually identical to the same bike produced by Bianchi on and off since the late 1970s (when they were made in Italy), so why wouldn't they just give the specs to Taiwan? Every other bike maker does exactly that. Bianchi isn't Bikes Direct, they're a major bike company with a lot of clout. Bikes are made the way they want, not the other way around.

If it were the case the Maxway is pulling all the strings and Bianchi just picks the colors, why does no one else offers the Bianchi Pista frame? If it were true that Bianchi just picked the Pista out of the catalog, then why don't we see other people selling the frame, a la the KHS Flite 100/Kilo TT/Spicer Track/etc.?

Finally, stop acting like a tool with that "nice try though," BS. You don't know what you're talking about, and acting all brazen and cool only reaffirms that, it doesn't make you any more believable.
