How much is a used Bianchi Pista 2010 fixie valued at? What would be a good price and an average price?

you could probably sell the complete bike for 400ish

And that would be the good price?

On NY Craigslist: stock Pistas run between $300-500. $300 is usually beat up. $500 usually has some nice components.

thats amazing

Look at that guy in Chicago skewing the prices with three handlebars...

LOL

*Goes to CL to post up a $5000 pista for sale

I bought it for 430, all original parts, little chips here and there. What do you guys think? A good deal or nay?

We can't tell from what's not posted... PICS???

Hold up, I'll try to post it now. After I eat that is.

So... how do I post pics? lol

^you need to upload your photos to an image hosting website like photobucket or flickr then link them from there

ah fosho. be right back

There ya go.

It looks entirely stock which is good considering it'll have seen little use then. I'll call that a good move. Get foot retention ASAP & a brake if you're new to the game.

definitely thanks for the advice. how much is a brake and foot retention around? and any particular brand you recommend?

A solid clip/strap setup will run you +$30. And you could probably find a standard tektro road caliper for cheap because everyone that goes brakeless has one.

Ah thanks for the suggestions, I'll certainly look into them. So whatcha guys think? A good deal or nay?

Yeah, I'd say it's an acceptable deal. Considering a new Pista(I don't know the difference in parts from your model) has an MSRP of $730, it seems like a notable discount for just a few nicks. If you like it, it fits you, and you think you got your money's worth - you got a good deal.

@ddeadserious
ah alrighty, well it feels fantastic.

ok so, today I went out for a ride, approximately 5 miles ride, and it was a sweet one. But then on my way home, I hear this very faint screeching/squeaking noise, and by very faint, I mean very very faint. Should I get it checked out or is that just the sound of the bike doing work.

lube up your drivetrain

PLEASE don't start with "Price Check" thread. This crap will never end if it starts.


This isn't Antiques Road Show.

^^ close it then.

anyway, took it to my lbs and the guy charged me effing $10 to lube it up, taking advantage of my poor knowledge in biking. he just grabbed a can and sprayed it in 10 sec. I guess I paid a dollar per sec.
w/e at least my bike's all smooth. any suggestions on what lube I should purchase?
