The PistaDex has been rebounding in the early summer months, but that is still pretty steep for a frameset only.

$350 for an 05 Pista is not that bad. Does it come with everything else?

If i has other components like seatpost, steam, headset, bars, bb then that probably is a pretty good deal.

I'm not sure i follow, but I'm guessing it has to do with it being more popular around me cuz ppl don't know any better and jizz their pants whenever they see a frame with an Italian name across it.

Yeah basically. Usually a safe assumption that just about any bike is gonna be more expensive in NYC. Kinda like everything else.

i would say its steep. depends how "used" it is. having a BB and headset installed already would make it more attractive.....

i dunno, how much do pista framesets go for new nowadays?
