I think it's an ad for human trafficking.
Frankly I am appalled.

Very clean white bar tape, and 10 bucks says it's rocking the freewheel.
Bah.

I am currently wearing those same sneakers in a flashier "colourway." Someone want to call me out on it?

That's funny.
Half the stock Pistas I see riding around have platform pedals and the chain tension of a rope bridge.
I was at a street fair last weekend and stopped one such rider.
Hey nice bike is that a Pista? (decals were removed, stock seat gave it away)
Uh, yea.
Cool, what kind of hubs are those?
Uh, I dont know they came with the bike.
What gear are you running?
Uh, I don't know.
I see, listen I notice you removed the brake.
Uh, yea it's a fixed gear so I don't need one.
Yea, I noticed that too. I also noticed you chain is really loose, that's not too safe you should snug that up when you get a chance.
Uh, OK....rides off into traffic.

Enjoy

I have the same model, so I can tell- the wheels arent stock- they look worse. He turned the fork upside down to raise the handlebars. I doubt this is a bianchi ad.

without as much negativity as it sounds: who cares?

also, if you turn the fork upside down, you'll lower the handlebars quite a bit. and have extremely odd ride characteristics. would anybody with photoshop skills like to illustrate this, please?

While you are at it could you photoshop that bird out.
It's really creeping me out.

Pretty sure they meant stem.
But what do I know about Pista riders?

Ok- ha ha ha. I mis-typed and you are all very funny. I meant a Pop Top type stem like this:

The one on the pista angles down, and when inverted will raise the level of the handlebars.

Are you serious?

Maybe bianchi thinks that cigarettes are cool? I dunno. They don't think celeste is cool anymore, so I question their overall taste.
