Help ID a Bianchi Single Speed?

Can anyone ID this Bianchi? I can't make out the model from the blurry picture.

It isn't a Bianchi, that is a hideous imitation of the wordmark.

I honestly think it's a repainted size 57 Pista Concept.

Carleton appears to be semi-accurate. Head tube looks too big to me, and the track ends don't have the steel inserts. Still, you could be right.

It's just a pista concept with custom paint (a give away is the ugly "patch job" bianchi did with the seat tube cut out in addition to the lack of a drilled hole on the track end)... it always bites at me, being an owner of one, to see one ruined like this.

It appears to be a 57; those pictured are 55cm. It does have steel inserts.

With the head tube I was more talking about the diameter than the length, but then again I'm looking at it on my phone, and I'm pretty drunk, so I could be wrong. Also, I don't see inserts on the bike in question. Again though, on my phone.

I know, I hate it when a paint job makes a bike unrideable...

That bike is only good for being made into PBR tallboys now.

Umm...one of those pictured was mine...and it was a 57

The steel inserts on the OP's bike were probably painted over.

it's definitely a pista concept
personally, i think it looks really good with the sm rolls, but it'd look better with black seatpost and stem
either way you could definitely ride it with a full tuxedo.

Would you buy it for $125?

You should really ask the seller. We are just eyeballing from a fuzzy photo.
