Sorry if this has already been posted . . . just checked Bianchi's website and all of the new bikes are on there.

Pista color is "Gang Green" and there doesn't appear to be any animal print on that seat.

They've added the San Jose--single speed road bike with some offroad tires. $579--pretty cheap way to get into cyclocross.

pics are up and the wife has the bike, there is indeed fur trim.

It looks like the trim runs down the middle in those photos on the site.

The San Jose actually looks pretty decent - a nice blue.

On the chrome, I prefer the 2005 silver chainring over the black on the 2006's. And the Suginos looked a little less bulky. But the seat is a vaaaast improvement.

suginos were definitely more attractive, but the truvativs seem to work ok, s'far as i can tell.

those pedals look like ****.

they've used less tape on the bar, "track-style."

i like the color.

the saddle's beyond silly.

I agree the seat is a HUGE inprovement...

but i don't like the crank, and i bet if you tryed to strip off the white panels you would

also take off the paint, they should have just made the letters like white on the '04 or

black, also the head set is alot nicer

Is this it? That's not true track geometry, my friends.

What does the Pista Concept usually go for?

Anyone else notice that whoever made the pages for the individual bikes forgot to change the year?

heh, the pista concept comes with tubulars this year.

W.U.S.S.? god, and I thought P.U.S.S. was a terrible name.

I meant to ask about the price of the concept frameset only. Any ideas?

That bike looks like this one:
http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/bik/100496813.html

it's got track dropouts and it's not drilled for brakes.

Looks like a cool project for someone. Not me though.
I already have a room full of aborted projects.

sage green??

The Pista Concept pop up is labeled 2004 :)

$1500 for the concept as specified is not a bad price at all, imo.

you can still request a silver chainring. i did when i ordered my 2006 ..

I'm kinda disappointed in bianchi's line all around...and I've been a die-hard fan for years. booooo.

something about that bike makes me want to throw up all over the office i'm in, but i'm not sure what it is.

i think that frame is ten times prettier than those chrome ****s

This one looks way better than the chrome.

I'm gonna buy up all the chrome ones then all you whiners will have to come beggin me for one cause they'll be so rare and you'll all want one to ride off the cliff behind all the rest of the sheep. Hee hee hee

I love the '04 Chrome, not so much the '05.

And is this seriously the 3rd thread on the '06 Bianchis in the past 2 weeks?

thin line between love and hate, man
