This is a decent deal, no?

Bianchi Pista Concept complete fixed gear track bike, vintage Campy

I bought the 2004 model of that bike(just the frame/fork) in Sausalito in 2004 and it was around $700. That bike looks weird with "old" parts on it, to me. I hated that thing. It was the harshest ride ever, just wasn't practical, for me, doing messenger ****.

It's a fair price with the potential to talk down the seller.
Only thing to be careful of is the irreplaceable seatpost collar which is prone to cracking with age/ repeated use (via adjustment)/ repeated overtightening.

I've had no problems with the seatpost clamp on my 2006 Pista Concept, although I've only tightened it a few times and don't have a lot of seatpost sticking out. It's not necessary to tighten the bolt a lot to prevent the seatpost from slipping down.

Haha if anything we've seen their uggo forks on other frames for the longest

Is it just me or are the welds just as ugly as the bike? 3,800 msrp? You must have been drunk to buy that.

Some people bought them but they're all but dead now; just like IRO

I guess if they are built well and do the job.... despite looking like they were put together in a garage by a beginner

I owned one of those Griffen MMC frames for bit (though an older model). Not the prettiest frames, but what struck me was the ride quality. It felt like no other steel, alu, carbon or Ti frame I had ever owned. Even with a monostay the ride was surprisingly compliant without feeling noodly.

"It appears to be from around 1979-1980"

Still, a pretty cool bike.

That would not deter me.

Nah i know. Some people it would though. Some people are real sticklers about that kinda stuff. I'm that way with music equipment.

Just out of curiosity, what is your favorite set up for doing messenger ****?

Havent been a messenger since Xmas of 2006. What in particular are you talking, as far as "set up"?

I have no idea as to why someone would put a carbon crank on that bike nor do I understand as to why you would completely stop riding a bike after an accident if you can get back on a bike. You fall, you have accidents, you get back up and do it over again. What a *****.

Dreamy..

Multicolor One-Speed or Fixie

Oh I was just wondering what kind of bike you enjoyed working on the most for the job. Steel Or Aluminum, geared or fixed. Did you have a favorite bike during that time period?

I think this can be Anywhere, USA, actually.
