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.

Or just wait until they break/wear out.

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

exactly, why buy a complete bike then replace the components? Just build a bike from the start if you are going to do that. especially if the riding you are wont cause you need new wheels, cranks, etc. I guess internet consensus > *

(in the end its the given individual's $$$ though)

Did you know that if you depress the caps lock button again all your letters won't come out capitalized? A good exclamation point or two will get the point that you're yelling across without making your words so hard on the eyes.

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.

Wrong....he's merely inquiring as to how many times a day your attitude towards others results in you getting your ass handed to you on the streets of Colorado. From the sounds of it you've not pulled this routine with a live human being or you would be thumped. You know, the same way your sister beats you up.

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.
