Bianchi Pista Concept Weighed In

[MLGCAMPERL97]

the 2011 pista concept frame is out, i found one for 750 in celeste

[MrHandro13]

how tall are you? nice bike btw

[ZekeMoffat1]

Nice bike Daddio !!

[thehundredsrocks]

your bike weighs 29 pounds?

[MLGCAMPERL97]

i wanna have sex with your bike, uhhh.... nuthing, how much would u sell it for?

[PowerViolenceForever]

@MLGCAMPERL97 The frame itself is about 800$

[XxRare2CxX]

What crank you using? Is it like a basic one?

[XxRare2CxX]

What size is your frame bro?

[EricRihlmann]

@XxRare2CxX 53cm

[XxRare2CxX]

what kind of rims and hubs are those? can someone please help me out?

[EricRihlmann]

@XxRare2CxX The wheelset consists of Philwood High Flange Track Hubs laced to H+Son Formation Face Rims. I've since sold the them for a much better performing Reynolds Recon wheelset.

[XxRare2CxX]

@EricRihlmann so theyre H+Son face rims with purple anodized phil wood hubs right? are the rims light?

[EricRihlmann]

@XxRare2CxX Yea, those are the components, but the wheelset isn't going to be very light. If you want light go with either a shallow depth rim or a carbon rim if you prefer the deeper profile...

[ExtractViisiion]

i.am.SO.jealous.

[argmax11]

what kind of handlebar do you have now? seen on the pictures in flickr

[EricRihlmann]

@argmax11 The handlebars on flickr are Nitto- ADB-X

[EVHfilms]

@EricRihlmann in my opinion it looks better with the risers

[980primo]

is the frame alluminum or carbon?

[EricRihlmann]

@980primo 7005 Aluminum with carbon fork

[meehpenguin]

Stupid !!

[cxbra]

Simply beautiful! I give it a 9 out of 10. It would be a 10 for sure with the forks cut!

[kaczka81]

what is that spoke style or those wheels called

[rattanalauguico]

you should get a hed3 front

[artneradam]

@rattanalauguico is a hipster....confirmed

[iseejamespeople3]

@kophins666 not with those stupid risers. that shit would just get laughed at in a velodrome

[cxbra]

@iseejamespeople3 Risers are for people who ride their track bikes on the street... Im a classy track guy (no huge tires, no tricks) but I still see the need for a riser on the street.. I run a drop bar but I wouldnt be against a riser bar.

[hrzns]

What rims are those?

[gradymcca]

@hrzns black velocity b43's

[kophins666]

Why does every1 called them fixes? It's a fucking track bike

[nito057]

@kophins666 a track bike that have a flat handlebar and a gear ratio totaly different from the one of a real track bike, plus it still have a fixed gear....

[somalianprince1]

Nice frame cut the forks and but bullhorns on it

[MrDreamz707]

What stem is that?

[oViiRuSo]

sick fixie

[cycotmc13]

nice Bianchi Pista fixie btw (:

[aznxdope]

What kind of hubs are those?

[EricRihlmann]

@aznxdope High Flange Philwoods.

[aznxdope]

@EricRihlmann Oh shoot sorry I didn't see it in the info box =P. Which one is better Vuelta super deep/ Velocity B43/ or H plus son? Do you know any strong, cheap rear hub brands?

[zyxdragon]

@aznxdope H plus son eero's are basically B43's but can hold super fat tires and look really clean. B43's are the standard track bike wheel these days for "hipsters" and Vuelta to me personally doesnt look too bad but Id rather go for a regular velocity deep v

[togaxc]

such a beautiful bike omg

[abnormlman]

i want this frame so bad! with aerospokes! kill me now

[DivineBlasphermer]

What stem is that?

[EricRihlmann]

@DivineBlasphermer Its a Thompson Elite - SM-E126 1-1/8″ x 0° x 70 mm x 25.4 mm

[AyeBrian]

Radial Lace Is legit

[ktmracr91]

super fuckin gorgeous.......

[RockyShitNigga]

How much did you pay for the frame alone ?

[Paramedic80]

Very nice Bike but the Black Parts are very sick.....

[dimthevisitor]

if i'm reading it correctly... 17.4 lb? for a bike with no derailleurs, brakes, brake levers, extra cogs from cassettes or an extra chainring.... not to mention all the cabling. not very impressive as far as a weight is concerned. in fact that's quite heavy. one of my road rigs tips in at 16.4 lb and that's with a saddle bag, lights and a cycling computer.

[wwdONELOVEallday2]

@dimthevisitor good for you, what do you want? a cookie?

[3falloutboyroxx]

@dimthevisitor you realize there arent ANY carbon fiber parts on that bike right?

[invisional]

damn hipsters!

jk I just bought one of these today and I love it

[christian522]

are those purple philwood hubs?

[FixieFriends]

nice ass bike

[FixieFriends]

Nice Ass Bike

[EricRihlmann]

@FreqntFlyr 245lbs

[DavidGreef]

toe overlap looks insane. that would drive me nuts.

[EricRihlmann]

@DavidGreef Never bothers me because you shouldn't be turning the handle bars when making turns on a track bike. If you don't want toe overlap you need a road bike fork...

[5498marquez]

thats a badass bike

[shredfortyler2]

b43s are boss.

[EricRihlmann]

@shredfortyler2 They are actually the H+Son Formation Face.

[cycotmc13]

@shredfortyler2 i agrre i got mines in green and red 

[cody8005]

I wish I had a scale just for bikes.

[EricRihlmann]

@cody8005 Its just a $15 luggage scale from Bed Bath & Beyond.

[mso872]

@EricRihlmann They have them at eddie bauer I believe

[EricRihlmann]

@ismokehellaweed its just the original cane creek headset that came with the frameset.

[djTEm0]

never mind i saw it in the discretion box ...... LOL..... thats a clean ass build though.......

[djTEm0]

dam that shit is dope...... wats ur gear ratio that ur running
