Thanks. I couldn’t find the Pista on the Bianchi website. What a stupid site.

25

NP. They probably just haven’t finished the new Pista page yet.

26

what about them
?

27

sMull rides one, so FAIL.

EDIT: Geometry looks to be pretty roadish

eesh you’re right. Scratch that one too. And the KiloTT has a headtube angle range of 72-73.5 so that won’t do either.

wtf about the Pista??? It had such nice angles before!

I’ll agree that the change is geometry is slightly disappointing, but mainly because Bianchi was the only company still making classic “sprint” geometry in a production bike. Having a 72° headtube doesn’t make a bike not a track bike, and is probably more reflective of the way the bike will actually be used, both on the street and on the velodrome.

31

I was looking forward to making track racing my next thing after I get my cross bike built up and was looking at the Pista as a decent off-the-peg starter bike. Everyone says the geometry is (was) perfect and all I would have to replace is the saddle and pedals. If I’m gonna do it I want to start off right, and it seems I would have to spend more on something like a Bareknuckle to get track geometry. Or I could just use my Angus frame since at 74 degrees in the head tube it is now more trackish than the Pista.

It really depends on your home track. Shallower tracks don’t necessarily require super steep angles.
