almost 10-year old Bianchi B.A.S.S. :P
 
Rather than the classic Celeste, they called this Kawasaki Green.
This is a simple single-speed, not too fancy.

want. but whats your point?

Hot bike. A buddy has a CUSS and that thing is a rocket on the trails. It doesn't climb or descend as well as my 29er, but when zooming down swoopy singletrack its the closest to flying you'll find. You almost forget the bike is under you.

That being said, where's the mud? :-P

I agree with your assessment. In one word, this bike is stiff. No wasted energy.

Looks good for fixed tricks.

does the crank give you all of it?

It has nice aggressive geo and tight clearances for the track too

Neat. Did you post in the "your fixed gear/single speed" thread?

Bianchi had a number of those bikes: W.U.S.S., P.U.S.S. were two recent models. White and Pink utility bikes. CUSS, DISS, SASS

Yes, because track bikes > all. They are suitable for absolutely every conceivable application without exception. Even if they weren't, which they are, who rides their bikes off the track anyway? Well, except to do tricks of course. Tight clearances are also a must. Fenders are for the freds. They should be called Frednders. Also, :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: .

Holy crappers man, have you ever heard of sarcasm sheesh. Yes i agree with fenders and whatnot but i have no clue what fenders you need a whole foot of clearance to put them on, plus it also has rear facing dropouts making putting the fender on almost as big of a pain in the ass as you.

:trainwreck:
