So I stripped off all of the parts off my Pista since I'll most likely be selling it.
What do you think is a reasonable price?
2007 Bianchi Pista
-55cm
-Decals stripped
-Great condition/looks almost new. A few tiny scratches and mild top tube dent in the normal spot (can barely be seen in pictures)
-Vitus fork. Very light (5-600g) but rides like a steel fork
-Threaded headset/Ofmega
What do you think is a fair price?
Some pics...
Frame/fork (don't have the headset installed in these pics)
Clearance with 28mm Contis

A lot of slave labor in Dubai, migrant workers living in cars, rampant sexual harassment of foreign women brought in as workers, that sort of thing. There is a whole underclass of foreign workers who are trapped there and are treated like garbage. Employers take your passport from you when you get a job and never give it back, withhold pay and house the workers in camps with very poor conditions.
Debtors prisons too. If a foreign workers looses his job and can't pay debts they send you to jail. This applies to white collar workers too.
Etc.

here's a link to some sold listings on ebay which can give you a rough estimate of what people have paid in the past
bianchi chrome pista frame | eBay
GLWS. it seems like you really dug this frame, so it might be worth it to pass it on for cheap to someone who will ride it and love it as much as you did.

First real races today. They were much easier than the practice crits I was doing, and I placed pretty well for the first one. 12/37, and the second race I placed 10/17. I didn't even sprint for either of them because I was about 20m behind the leaders, and I just wanted to finish without crashing.
In the second race, there was a guy that tried to jump over a botts dot and slowed down a bunch when he did that. As he slowed and moved over about 6 in, my front wheel touched, and I almost went down. I pushed off him, and kept it upright, but the guy behind me ate it. Was super sketch, and I'm still not sure why he tried to jump over the little dot.

I paid $150 for that exact frame / size about a year ago -- granted it came with a dent in the downtube and the stock fork but also BB/Crank.
So I stripped off all of the parts off my Pista since I'll most likely be selling it.
What do you think is a reasonable price?

In the second race, there was a guy that tried to jump over a box dot and slowed down a bunch when he did that. As he slowed and moved over about 6 in, my front wheel touched, and I almost went down. I pushed off him, and kept it upright, but the guy behind me ate it. Was super sketch, and I'm still not sure why he tried to jump over the little dot.

Twin Six has some new designs on their website. Three new ones I think.
Really like the Aurora.
Not worth $85 IMO but they sometimes go on clearance or on sale at other stores like Performance or REI.

I don't like twinsix's fit. Short sleeves without gripper means weird bunching

Fresh Garbage
So today I started my first full time welding job at a structural steel fabrication shop. We will be doing lots of shop work and field work, so I'm excited. Of course I'm the one stuck with the older pain to adjust machine.
