How much would a build like this cost? They look amazing! Would be awesome to have one as a get about bike, for when I was at uni or something! Soo clean and looks light! Do many people use them for riding around towns? Or mainly track bikes?
You can build a cheap fixie which is just as good from an old road frame with the same drop outs as my Viking (www.pinkbike.com/photo/7064705) 1st dropout shown.
I really like this one as it's very clean, plus it has the 1 1/8th steerer. But yeah, I made a fixie out of an old frame, was brilliant but needs a new wheel as the axle bends whenever I pedal! it's that cheap! lol!
Would be a thing for uni or something, to get about town and what no!
It would, but if you lock it up outdoors, you'll need a good piece of security. It's a Bianchi after all and thieves know they're worth a lot of money, so if you can keep it in doors in Uni, that'd be a better option for you. You know, for a price of that Bianchi Pista, you could get a half decent road bike too
Plus it's a track bike and doesn't have brakes, so you would have to 100% rely on your legs to brake!!
You can get cheaper fixed gears with brakes too. So it all depends on what you want to pay for. But if I was gonna spend £550, I might as well by a Specialized Allez road bike or the like..
Yeaah, I guess it would probably get nicked, bikes that are worth f*ck all get parts ripped of them. There is a frame and cranks sitting in a square in my town, funny just been pulled to bits and i'ts utter shite!
Yeah, that could be a bit dodgy for about town. Sweet, well I will look into it in the future, cheers for da' info!
