Thanks. Yeah. I did exactly that with my geared bike.
That saddle/post will be swapped onto the fixed gear bike. It's a nice Thomson post and high-end Fizik saddle.
I'll buy a black seat post and new saddle for the geared bike.

When I bought my used Pista, the owner told me it was a 57 but it fit me perfectly....and I typically ride a 55. I did some measuring and they were all coming closer to a 55cm frame...but the last measurement was the headtube and I wasn't sure if Bianchi's listed measurements were including the headtube only or headtube + upper/lower headset rings. The 55's are listed as 130mm and the 57's are listed as 150mm....mine was 130mm headtube only/150mm including the headset rings.
Your measurements solved it since yours is 130mm and you know it's a 55cm. Thanks again!

Haha.. I leave several times a year to remind myself why I live here. Funny how that works. I appreciate vacations so much more, and it's great to come back home.
EDIT:
I just noticed in the pic, the building you see to the left is a prison...with a view...
