New fork for 2007 Bianchi Pista
I want to swap out the fork on my pista, does anyone have or know of a good fit? maybe off of a fuji track or mercier? something of similer quality?
color doesnt matter, I will be painting the bike BUT black would be prefered!
anyone?

MIN put a forte axis on his and seems happy with it. anything 1" will work, in some cases you may have to change headsets and/or get the fork threaded.

I like my spicer fork. Gene actually dug through some stuff to find me a 28mm rake 1" threadless spicer fork instead of the 37-38mm rake fork that they usually offer. Soma's fork is the same but better steel. I can't remember exactly but 37-38mm rake, threadless, black or chrome both can be had for 100 bucks. There's a couple of options out there for you. You can get carbon 1" threadless from Performance(forte) and Nashbar for a hundred or cheaper too. Just depends on exactly what you're looking for.

Hey OP. try spicer cycles. They have 1" threadless track forks in chrome and black. Only thing you have to watch out for is the change in rake from 28mm(pista) to 38mm(spicer).
Edit: unless you are lucky as hell like camashtorcal

If the pista has a 1" tube there are these that Soma distributes https://www.somafab.com/rushpix.html if you find a shop that sells soma's stuff they can probably get them cheaper for you.

Niel, what kind of difference would the rake change be? would it tighten the geometry? i am not too familier with the idea of 'rake'
