What is going on here? Im lost. I've been riding my madone like mad lately, first time on the fixed gear in a while so i thought i'd snag some photos.
I feel dumb, but what is going on with the MS Paint line photo? haha

Nothing spectacular . . . a mostly stock 2009 Bianchi Pista found recently at substantial discount as "new old stock" . . .
P.S.
I should put the stock 130mm stem back on (so it's horizontal) and do some measurements, or get a friend to dig out a UCI geometry compliance template. UCI reg 1.3.022 requires drop bars to be no further forward than a vertical line through the front wheel spindle, with a 5cm tolerance allowed. Would be interesting to see if it passes with the stock stem. Used a plumb bob (an old yoyo) with the 90mm stem and it still encroaches slightly into the 5cm tolerance zone.
- Fitted cranks with Shimano PD-A520 SPD pedals.
- Flipped the rear hub around and geared it down slightly from ~81 inches to ~72 inches with a 3/32 18T track cog and have it fairly secure using a BB lock ring and liberal quantity of Loctite (no sudden skid stops allowed
). - Added front brake with a cross lever. Remove two bolts and it comes off to make it track legal (along with flipping rear wheel back around).
- Swapped stock 130mm 17d stem for a used 90mm 5d Origin 8 found dirt cheap in a LBS parts box as the reach in the drops was too long (frame fits legs well; upper body needs shorter stem). It's temporary until I can find a 90mm or 100mm silver stem. Wanted to see first if 90mm fits well before paying for a new one.

You and me differ greatly in our understanding of the word "spectacular".
That bike is amazing to me.
