Bianchi Pista Concept Sizing

For anyone who has one or has ridden one- how do these size? I am currently riding a 56 bareknuckle and trying to decide between a 55 and a 57 pista concept. Thanks.

bareknuckles seem to run big, i would say 57.

I need a second less expensive bike to travel with but I am getting conflicting info from friends. A lot of people have told me pista concepts size big too so I'm a little confused.

Dang, I mean, I've already got one but...2 would be twice as nice...
I'm glad your keeping the knuckle, I love mine.

edit:
as far as I know, bareknuckles have rediculous standover etc so I think you'd be ok with a 57 pista concept. Look at the dimensions for the sizes online and find the one closest to your fit.

I feel you.
I'm considering building another bike as well in the upcoming months, but am in the same boat as you.

Bikes: pista, pista concept.

I'm 6'1 and I ride the 57 if that helps, but if anything best way would be to goto your LBS and get correct sizing.
