Their ride and look and workmanship are special in a way that the new Bianchi generic cheapo fixies are not. I speak from experience. By the way, the top end Bianchi roadie reparto corso frames of the early '80 like Specialissima and Super Leggera were superb rides. I know, having put in 1,000's of miles on one. The Taiwanese made steel Bianchis of the mid '80's were generic klunkers. If you want a beautifully made Japanese lugged steel roadbike from the '80's, try the Miyata Pro, one of the finest production bikes ever.mobydoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17286673530654033207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-73107704894264353662008-04-16T12:03:00.000-04:002008-04-16T12:03:00.000-04:00????http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/bik/643655911....????<BR/><BR/>http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/bik/643655911.htmlearth laughs in flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833248794065964479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-86942298707920660832007-09-09T19:16:00.000-04:002007-09-09T19:16:00.000-04:00Excellent website.

The quality control of those bikes left a lot to be desired, but once they were faced and the threads cleaned out (and you were willing to overlook the amateurish, poor paintjobs), they were sweet-riding bikes!GhostRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09987949431503645433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-6615287137965500852007-07-03T18:22:00.000-04:002007-07-03T18:22:00.000-04:00"the older Pista frames are vastly superior to the..."the older Pista frames are vastly superior to the flashy new models"<BR/><BR/>Anyone who believes this clearly didn't work in a bike shop in the 80's!! Despite all the lore the reality is most of the Italian bikes were not very well built. I remember working on Bianchi, Pinarello, and Colnago frames that took an hour or more of prep work just to get to the point of being able to bolt on parts. Gummed up threads, paint overspray, unfaced surfaces, poor chrome, uneven paint, and poor alignment were quite often the norm not the exception. Quality control on bikes at that time wasn't much better than the quality control on Italian cars of the era.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10767743759129493752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-73292826313008273572007-07-03T16:53:00.000-04:002007-07-03T16:53:00.000-04:00first...ahem...Gotta love the frankenbikes...whate...first...ahem...<BR/><BR/>Gotta love the frankenbikes...whatever happen to using the parts that were actually manufactured and intended to be used instead of breaking out the blow torch and solder for every project?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
