  1. If possible i would like to get a bike that was made in Italy and to my understanding Bianchis are not, (which was kinda upsetting to hear) Bosso's and Torelli's are made in Italy though right?

  2. What do you guys think about Torelli Bikes? Im in the market for a new bike and have been for about a month and a half but i was wanting to get something i would be truly satisfied and not just settling for something cheaper, right now its between a Bianchi, a fuji, my local bike shop carries Surly Steamrollers, and possibly a Torelli. I kinda want to get something brand new since its going to be like a gift to myself ive been saving for a while im sure you guys can understand that. I have heard so many mixed things about Bianchis some people love them and have more than one and some people hate them and call them overpriced just looking for a little advice again

  3. Hey guys looking to pick up a new hat since i finally cut off all my hair and am able to finally wear hats. I have had my eyes on the visvim 5 panel for a few months but they are so hard to come by, if anyone has one for sale hit me up in a PM. Preferably deadstock but will consider any and all offers since these are really rare. I have cash in hand

  4. There is a lady on craigslist selling a Masi fixed gear where i live. She said its in need of minor work but its pretty much a steal. I dont think she knows what she has. I think i might be picking up a new bike soon

  5. I dont think i will be doing it a lot though, I also want to add that my transportation to school and work when weather is permitting is my bicycle which is why i was looking at the pista.

    I know lots of you guys have mulitple bikes so a freestyle bike could be my next purchase after i get an upgrade on my commuter,

  6. I would say so but there are much more experienced riders here and a few that have or have had those in the past.

    If I had 800 to spend I would buy that rebranded Fuji from Motobecane and just replace all the whack shit.

    Ive heard similar things about the Pista though, that at that price point its a pretty good bike you just need to replace some of the components

  7. Alright thanks guys ill look in to those, I am just now starting to develop an interest in bikes after skating for 4 years or so. You guys know anything about leader frames (as far as freestyle goes) a guy at the local park was trying to sell me his bike the other day

  8. Ok guys Im looking to upgrade my bike. Im currently riding a decent but cheap bike that was converted to fixed gear but i was thinking about upgrading since i started working. My price range is somewhere around $800 or so and i was really looking at the Bianchi pista. Are these really that good or are you just paying for the name? I also want to add that I want to start getting in to fixed freestyle and start doing some tricks so im not sure if thats the bike for me. Anybody know another alternative in that price range or possible slightly cheaper?

  9. ^no big deal. The bar and even the grips can be cleaned with dish detergent or any bicycle cleaning foam. Just wipe with a sponge and it's ok. Of course it gets dirty after a muddy ride, but so far I had no problems. the MTB grips are replaced every 4 months or so anyway, because they start to lose grip then.

    Edit: the pic of my MTB was taken after a whole day in the bikepark, after I cleaned with water. And it still looks acceptable, no?

    Acceptable? It looks great man i especially like the green and white contrast, The grips on my bike are falling apart after only about 2-3 weeks, thats because i was riding back and forth to the skate park and to go downtown to go street skating, i would set my skateboard on the handle bars and the constant rubbing from the griptae or the trucks messed them up. I want to order some new ones though. The ones that came standard on my bike were brown and honestly they felt kind of cheap more like brown tape than a nice grip

    Hey satya that bike looks really nice man i was wondering though how come a lot of people only change the front tire's rim, or spoke, not exactly sure the term. I think it looks nice but i was wondering why people just do one im not saying it looks bad though
