If anyone has been following BikeSnobNYC for the past year or two they most certainly know about his statistical invention known as the “Pista Index.” Briefly, it provides a whole number measuring price in dollars of the most recent Bianchi Pista offerings on Craigslist. The index is then used to correlate the current urban fixed-gear trend in that particular city.

Well, if this CL post is any indication, the fixed-gear trend has recently been inflated beyond reason in Naugatuck. The seller is offering his “sick fixie” for dirt-cheap: only $1200. Check it out:

I have a bianchi Pista with thomson stem, Flat handlebars, lime green oddessy pedals, san marco saddle, limegreen deep V velocety wheels, and gator skin tires this build would be sold for 1400 in a bike shop and take years to build for the average cyclist it has a 2.3 gear ratio and is super fast i love it but must part with it

That’s right he’s going to save you time and money and you’re going to have a “super fast” bike with a 2.3 gear ratio. I’m confused, is there a Ford Mustang engine in this thing?

At this point, if you’re like me,  you’re probably wondering why he’s offering us all such a bargain. Well, it turns out there was a certain country fair last month in Humboldt requiring a particular colored wheel.

Rooster McClintock? No way!

My guess is that this CL seller spend the better part of the last two years building this bike in anticipation of the event. (By “building this bike”  I mean stripping the factory wheels and bars off and replacing them). And now, with the Green Wheels Gala all but forgotten in a haze of ganja smoke and chicken parts, he’s ready to move on to other epic builds.
