    Bianchi Pista 59cm chrome.
    48x16 fixed or single speed, current set up SS.
    Just under 1 year old. Very good condition.
    1595km on the clock according to strava.
    Rear Tiagra brake added.
    Tyres are white Vittoria Zaffiro.
    I was using Look pedals but have put back on the flat ones it came with.
    I was also using a different saddle to the Bianchi one but have put the unused original back on.

    625e ono

    Will upload pics tomorrow.

    Humour me with a picture, also is this a hipster bike or a track bike? Neither of which I am but am for some reason considering having a go at a fixed gear bike.

    It's not either really, but closer to track. However...the chain is narrower and lighter than your normal track bike chain, so it probably wouldn't suit someone whose power is measured in units of awesome.
    It's far too nice for hipsters.

    The Pista is a lovely bike, one I would like in my garage but the small difference in price of this one in relation to the price of a new one is putting me off.
    For it to be tempting to buy second hand I think a lower price of €450 would take the use of the bike, the small imperfections in the mirror finish this entails, the fact that it is not a new build etc into account.
    For this I offer €450

    n= number of bikes
    n+1 = desired number of bikes
    I had n, now I have n+1 which is target achieved however n+1 now =n
    Back where I was...

    I was never good at maths.

    Thanks Dermot, Ill pm you this evening re viewing, payment, collection and buying a larger shed.....
