The 2012 Bianchi Pista Classica is now available. The retro lugged steel frameset comes in celeste/cream with pinstriping around headtube.
Features include:
• Chromo Lite double-butted, heat-treated tubing.
• Lugged Steel crown Fork.
• Seat pin included.
• 1″ threadless headset included.
• Metal head tube badge.
• Fork is drilled for a brake.
Suggested Retail Price is $1300. There’s also a road version called the Tipo Corsa.
Idk about those cream lugs and what the heck is “chromo lite”…glorified 4031?
It ain’t so hard to get a lugged frame for $1300, and I doubt this one was made anywhere but a Taiwanese factory, rather than by ‘artisans’ in Italy. It’s not even in ‘celeste’! However, if you really need the Bianchi name…
$1300? No way. If you need the bianchi name just get a super pista for about $800, you’ll get more looks and probably have more fun.
Those cream lugs are kinda gnarly, but YES, this IS celeste…the photo makes it look a bit pre-war than the brighter green of today’s models.
For $1300 it better be Columbus tubing and made in Italia
Anybody know where I could find a 56-57cm 2010 or 2011 Bianchi Pista Classica frame and fork? the original remake with Celeste/CHROME lugs. Not as into paying 1300.00 for Celeste and Yellow lugs even know they look nice. I have my heart set on the Chromies…Please let me know if you know of any or anywhere I could check? Thanks in advance.

lotsa haters here…you are all so busy griping about the painted lugs you did not even notice the nice lug-lining which the ’10-’11 chrome-lugged bikes did not have. if you guys think $1300 is way high, waddaya got to say about the cinelli supercorsa pista for $2400?
