To my surprise the Japanese know a different Bianchi Pista then other parts of the world and in many of there fan’s opinions Bianchi has beefed it up for Japan when compared to the states. Not only does the Japanese color scheme appeal more to the eyes of an urban fixed gear rider so does the enhanced frame and forks. That’s right… And for around the same retail price ($500 – $600 USD), too. I can just imagine how stunning this bike would look like in other similar colors.

Up for auction was this COLAGNO X LA CARRRERA X UNITED FRONT X FUTURA MASTER PISTA FRAME. In collaboration with Toronto Bike shop La Carrera Cycles and United Front, Colagno brings its beautiful limited addition frame to eBay. The 54 cm frame is steel and features a colored poke-a-dot theme. Only 33 frames were made. The auction ended at US $5,300.00 on August 12, 2008.
