Shall we just put them all in here?

BH Pista

skunkworks · 13th September 2009

Seeing that it is called "Pista" I have to wonder what's the use of the curved stays? Doesn't that have a negative effect on power transfer? Not that any of the frames will see a velodrome, but still.

I believe some of you are able to enlighten me?

It's not a track bike, it's a fashion accessory.

I find quite a few of them are.........strange.

edscoble · 13th September 2009

It's just a name to describe those bike that look like track bike.

skunkworks · 13th September 2009

Yes. I feel the overuse of the word is starting to irritate me.

Pistanator · 13th September 2009

I thought any bike with 'one gear' was a track bike?

That does sound right, I have to admit.

Joao+bcn · 13th September 2009

ouch.

Pifko · 13th September 2009

Do they photochop out the tube valves or something?

the future? ALREADY!!!

yerney · 13th September 2009

IMHO: It would be nice if the hubs would match the headset colorwise. And the valves are missing? Otherwise quiet a looker.

is the rear brake cable routed through the frame, or have they 'shopped it out as well?

maxcrowe · 13th September 2009

Good choice of saddle on the Kona Grand Wagon, I like the bartape/hoods, fork crown and the fact it's a lugged frame.

Still not very nice though..

like the bianchi....real old school, although the forks do spoil it a bit!

specialist · 13th September 2009

That new giant looks nice. Not keen on the bars on the BH or the kona though.
The belt drive on the trek is cool, but probably end up being a load of hassle.

melon · 13th September 2009

I actually quite like the Bianchi Pista, but it is a shame about those ugly forks and nasty truvativ cranks. i might be tempted to get one though if they're not too expensive as i do quite like it, and ive wanted a classic Celeste track bike for an age. i have most of the parts to make it really nice.

i dont normally like trek bikes, or the blacked out style, but that district looks pretty sweet. you just know its fast and light and a blast to ride.

teenslain · 13th September 2009

I wish BH had done something classier than that, I used to ride a BH when I was a kid in Spain... Fond memories... I'd buy one of those just for nostalgia if it wasn't so shite... And shove loads of Zeus components on it....

I do too but their for very different purposes, the Giant is a proper tarck bike and the Trek is just the most ridiculous commuter ever.

Pifko · 13th September 2009

The only time I've ever liked the look of a Trek...

hippy · 13th September 2009

I prefer the look of their normal ones. I'd like to give the belt drives a go though. Curious to see how they ride/sound/etc

Dovvles · 13th September 2009

They do 3 new models for next year the one above and the 2 below plus the original grey/orange thingy

Eightball · 13th September 2009

Is this 09 or 10 I don't know, either way I really like it - olive drab post war utility look

edscoble · 13th September 2009

2009, they released it age ago mate, I like it too, great looking bike, would be perfect for a colour-coded chainguard as well to pull off the look.

vélo libre · 13th September 2009

the trek is what a ninja would ride. stealth, innit.
