2008 bianchi pista concept
 
Ive looked everywhere for a 2007 bianchi pista concept frameset/ complete bike but i cant find one anywhere does anyone know if the 2008 models will look the same as the 2007? or are they going to be completely different any help would be awesome thanks!

i don't think there is an 08 pista concept. if i remember right, it's been replaced by "pista aluminum" or something.

Does it come with an Aerospoke stock, then?

Glory Cycles says they're getting 2008 models. I spoke with someone over e-mail who confirmed it. She also confirmed the color is still white.

But she couldn't tell me when it might come in.. so I'm playing it "safe" and not relying on them to ever get any in stock. YMMV.

hahaha are you ****ing kidding me with that photo?

*not you obviously, but i can't believe they'd market something on their site like that.

That coupled with the crappy Yahoo page and the (un)availability of Concepts in 2008 makes me kind of weary... especially since they can't even tell me when they'll have them in.

I really wanted a concept, but alas.. so I could have spent less on a crappy level frame, but I decided, "ah... what the hell... I'll spend a bit more and get a frame in the $700-1000 range!" hah.

I think they did a great job using MSPaint. It lets the mind think of what components to use.

bonechilling 12-11-07 02:10 PM

They don't mention the 2008, but I'd contact or keep an eye on Bikyle. They always had a ton of Concepts every year.

Yeah man, i hear you. I love the concept, and i might try to get one still at some point. I've also given though to trying to nail down a peugeot track frame, so we'll see what happens.

Yea definitely email the guys at bikyle.com, they are still supposed to get some 07's in but the whole shipment hasn't arrived yet, they were putting people on the backorder list. I know that I put my name on it and ended up getting a concept off craigslist, so I'm sure a bunch of other people who were on the list no longer want one.

peabodypride 12-11-07 02:18 PM

Hm... I'll be sure to email them. Hopefully they'll arrive with forks.

goldenskeletons 12-11-07 02:29 PM

Bikyle has a LOT of frames that i want...

the more i go to that page the more i kinda want that Van Dessel Dragstrip Courage

those cane creek carbon tubulars are pretty damned amazing as well. i could be wrong, but i was under the impression that its the volos hub paired with zipp 404 rims. i think Yoshi has his eye on a pair.

yeah, i had to double take on that **** around the bottom bracket, i was wondering what the deal was with the unfinished aluminum there... then i realized...

yah i called these guys yesterday as well as 20 other bianchi dealers in the USA and none of them had any 2007s available, most said that they would be getting 2008s in a month or two but i also hear bianchi wont be selling it as a complete bike just as a redesigned frameset some stores say that bianchi isnt making anymore pista concepts all together so im really not sure who to beleive but i looked around and found this http://www.bianchi.com/en/products20...mes_X8B12.aspx i think this its gonna replacing the concept its called the Pista ALU

peabodypride 12-11-07 05:50 PM

I think one of the reasons why the 2007 was so popular is because the white/black scheme was/is so popular...

the concept ALU is butt ugly. Nothx.

Agree (same with the matte black concept).

peabodypride 12-11-07 06:12 PM

^I have a really ****ed up matte black concept that was in a crash, the left chainstay is done for. Unfortunately getting anyone to fix that would be impossible...
