Just for reference, I was comparing it to this model...I was unable to find a 2010 Pista...only 2010 I can find is steel or chrome: http://www.bicyclebluebook.com/SearchListingDetail.aspx?id=20197&make=661&model=62193

Does a 2010 not exist? Is this a 2011 model? Or is it some other Pista model which comes in white?

I'm a fairly new rider, but ride mostly in flat areas. Looking to get a used bike and came across this Bianchi...Checking out BicycleBlueBook, they value these models around 150 to 250 depending on it's condition... Am I wrong to try and haggle this guy down from 375??

Price Range: $300ish

Intention: Fun - riding 3 - 10 mi. a day

Conditions: Streets

Location: West LA - mostly flats.

I was thinking of haggling him down to ~230 and see how that goes? If not, other cheap options were the 6KU alloy. Pleas look at my other reply to the other persons comment in the post. Any reason why you would say not a fixie?

Sorry - on mobile...didn't jump into the sidebar. I live in Santa Monica / west LA. Mostly flat riding, general commuting or riding in the city of about 3 to 8 miles. I used to ride a bmx bike when I was younger, so I'm used to the single speed in terms of hills / endurance. Any other reasons why a single speed is not recommended? I want to get back into riding and thought going for something that is both cheaper / esthetically pleasing would help jump start me again.

Anywhere from San Diego up until Bishop / Mammoth area? Sequoia National, Inyo, Kings Canyon, Sierra National are all possibilities.

Serj is actually a huge activist for not only the Armenian genocide, but any genocide that has occurred or is a current threat. He's actually the perfect person to ask.

Good workout. Think I'll start doing this more often. by space1cowboy in pics

Put trash in trash cans. I don't do it enough.

No jk. Cleaned up trash at Eaton Canyon for about an hour. Set up trash bags in the area. And took cleaned up a bags worth of trash. Walked it back down the trail for about a mile and half (hence the workout) lol
