I was thinking to get the chrome one. May I asked how much it cost? Also was looking at the specialized langster, however, I favored the bianchi.

I bought the giro last december, its been great.

Are there brake tracks on those mavics? Are they the ellipse wheelset? Do you like them?

Nice Bikes.

Here's a photo of my Bianchi Alu/Carbon FC. I won it in a raffle.

I ride it as often as I can.

sadly they are just brake tracks. The wheels are mavic cosmos. Very good for trainning and some racing, pretty heavy.

yep they're the eclipse wheelset. no issues with the wheelset. I have about 300 miles on them in the last month. There are brake tracks forming on the wheels - I put a front brake on because I use the bike on the street - scrub off some speed on some very fast decents by my house - haven't mastered the "no brake option" fixed riding yet.

The standard Pista runs $500 before some changes I made (bullhorns, Thompson stem and post, and a different saddle. I haven't ridden steel since I was a kid, but I admit its pretty smooth.
