Bianchi Pista
A quick question. Had my LBS order to Pistas, one in gang green, one in chrome. I like the looks of the chrome, but also like the retro look of the green. Anyone have any suggestions?

oh, and while you're improving the pista, upgrade the components. i'd make that a higher priority than the looks, but since jasco is like 5 bucks for a can you won't even use up stripping a chrome pista, i still say chrome.

i'd remove the bianchi decal and have a new one made up that says '******' in the same font. it should look just about right.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!? YOU HAVE TO ASK PEOPLE WHICH COLOR YOU SHOULD GET!
perhaps you should quit worrying about what other people think and get the bike that you want to ride you cumsicle. if you like chrome, get chrome. if you like green, get green. if you like neither don't get the bike (my advice) or get it repainted. but don't go onto the internet and ask who you percieve to be the 'cool kids' what would impress them most if they happened to see you riding it.

Pista Concept comes in celeste domestically...gang green, which comes on the Pista, is darker, lacks historical significance, as far as I'm aware.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE THREAD DON'T RESPOND, SIMPLE AS THAT. EVERYONE ELSE WAS NICE ENOUGH TO GIVE THEIR OPINION. BUT THEN AGAIN THE WORLD IS FULL OF ****ING *******S AND I GUESS BF IS NO EXCEPTION.
BY THE WAY, DO YOU GET YOUR ASS KICKED ALOT, OR YOU JUST MOUTH OFF UNDER THE PROTECTION OF YOUR KEYBOARD?

I really don't get the perception on here that you basically shouldn't bother to ride a pista with stock parts.

what i say would be more valid if i'm as good at fighting as i am at wording, right?
why do you bother arguing when you know it's true? you ARE a ******bag, accept it. saying that you think people could physically injure me with ease doesn't change that fact. if you believe yourself not to be a ******bag, demonstrate it through reason. refute what i've said. say 'no ryan, i wanted to know what other people think of the colors because i am colorblind, and have no opinion, but would like my bike to be snazzy,' or something else that makes your inanely stupid question less make-fun-of-able.

You didn't have to respond to my question. I went to the posting with the subject matter of you being an ******* or grumpy or whatever. Someone posted to check out your Myspace. I did and I found the answer to my question. A picture paints a thousand words. I thought I was looking at pictures of Michael Pitt in Murders by Numbers.
Seriously, I feel bad for you. Kids like you had a rough time in school.
It's just funny what a tough guy you are behind your computer. Balls grow exponentially with the security of anonymity. Forums are supposed to be fun and informative, so take the stick out of your ass, unless it feels good up there.
I am done going back and forth with you as nothing gets settled arguing like school children.

I knew that button was there for something.
