One more nice bike of note from Bianchi's forthcoming line. The Pista Via Condotti brings back the classic Celeste color on a steel pista. Minimal branding, retro-grouch decals and a partial-chrome rear triangle too. Nothing special for a fork, which is disappointing (I hate those forks) and the components list is still the same as the Pista, minus an upgraded saddle and a front brake.
The Pista Via Brera is another addition to the Urban Fixed line. Complete with front and rear brakes and a townie bar set-up. I wonder what it would take to bring a nice crowned fork and some lugs onto a Pista? Hell, even selling just a frameset. Would be a nice, classy and affordable bike.
Bike as is, $799 retail.
