My Roomy's bike

I will post pictures and descriptions of track bikes that can be seen on the streets of Ft. Collins. Today’s post is of my roommates bike it is a “Bianchi pista concept 2005″. This bike is a small production concept bike almost custom, but surprisingly not the only one of its kind in Ft. Collins, if possible i will try to post pictures of some of the others. This bike is designed for the race track velodrome, but he just rides it around town. It is a comparable geometry to the “Bianchi Pista” which is Bianchi’s most popular production track bike. The Pista Concept is a very sleek and light aluminum frame, a very nice construction. There is a cut-out in the rear triangle to allow the back wheel to integrate closer under the seat giving more preassure to the back wheel for traction and transfer of forces, this bike rides very well and fast. The Pista Concept 2005 is Bianchi’s race team concept bike for 2005. He has altered it from its original intention, with strait crobar handlebars on it with the ever so popular oury grips. His wheels are the same wienman deep-V as mine, which he swaped in for some ultralight wheels, which he had gotten tired of truing all the time. He has some nice metal cage toe clips with a nice “sprint brand” double strap.
