Chrome Bianchi Pista frameset
Anyone know where I can purchase one of these? I've looked around and can't seem to find just the frameset.

Ok thanks guys. Have you heard anything about the Pista frame? How are the welds? I've been itching to build that frame up, it's so peeeeeerrty.

I don't know about the welds failing, but I know of 2 people who's pista frames have cracked. Bianchi wouldn't warranty them either, which sucks.

I had this warrantied. They gave me a new complete for $100 which I promptly sold to my LBS for wholesale price. Sold the busted frame on eBay. Waiting on a bareknuckle that is supposed to drop this week...

I just discovered that mine has a crack in almost exactly the same place. Righthand top of the rear stay, extending down the seattube for a couple of mm's.
Did the one that you have break clean through? What year of manufacture?
Mine is a 55cm, never crashed, and I'm a light, old guy running a 71 inch gear.
Just trying to get some sense of what happened with yours.
Thanks,
Joel

If you're looking for a chrome frame you can get a Schwinn Madison and Jasco off all the paint. The bike is fully chrome underneath.
