Man alive...when you do fixed you really do, do the best!

Finally put my hands on the classic Italian track bike I was looking for..

Took something like 6 years..

Now I need to think to some build improvement..

dibs ti ck headset. that thing is beaut

@thomas. ah ah ah

Best of the best. A true beauty.

Fantastic! What year?

@Pawlus quite happy with this one..

@vp1337 not sure, but I think around 1983, the one from 1983 Catalog look exactly the same, except the chromed fork crown..

Also I've just bought a very nice Ciöcc Aquila roadie to vampirise the Campagnolo Chorus/Record 9 groupset..

It had been in storage for years, only need a deep clean but everything is in great condition..

Frameset soon on sale/trade, size 57..
Really highend frame, mix of lugs & fillet braze, Genius Oversize with deferential shape tubin..

Time to feed the thread, update about last purchases/projects

-Bianchi Super Pista from 80's (hard to date precisely)

60x58 ctc

Picture from previous owner, it need a fluted SR seatpost, and rebuild the hubs on clicher/grey rims..

Also an Italian track cockpit or priest bars..

-Victoria Titanium, ex Lithuanian National team bike.

60x57,5 ctc

Close of being finished.. need Record/Chorus Threaless Headset, Ti seapost, grips..

-Preuss custom made from Altec2 Pro Series tubing. Probably design for pursuit use

64 ctt 57 ctt

Not sure what to do with it, dislike the fork, would prefer a chromed steel fork with flat crown, 7710 build..

Not sur to keep at the moment..

-Ciöcc Aquila Genius OS tubing, just finished, really smooth ride

57ctc top tube

-NOS Concorde track, custom order from 1995, Thron tubing, disco, chromed flat crown fork, chromed rear triangle.

59,5x57,5

Would like to go with C-record for this one (or maybe Suntour Superbe Pro)

Great purchases! Excited to see them progress :)

Love all of them but the Ciöcc is absolutely beautiful!

Nice Campagnolo chainring on the Somec :)

@Sig_Arlecchino Winter is coming bro !

@vp1337 Have to admit it turns out pretty well, not a huge fan of the white opalescent paint, but that mix of lugs and fillet braze frame is something. Was also a great opportunity to use the Grammo Arte stem..

@Félin Seems to be at the right place ;)

After a looonnnngg shoot, I've put my hand on a lugged Bianchi Super Pista form approximatively 1983. (if anyone is able to die it precisely..)

No dent, original condition, my size..

Bought it complete, mostly dressed up with Campa Record pista components. Time to fully service it, and control the state..

first I was a bit scared by the seat collar screw which seems too much tightened, paint started to crack, but fortunately, the steel isn't really damaged in contrary of the screw..

Paint had seen better days and need a good polish, but it's original, and not that bad for a 35 year old boy, I do like the lettering/finish

Campy dropouts, chrome under paint..

Also love the Piaggio head badge and the flat fork crow

Luckily for him, I've got the right tool to take care of him now..

It's seems that the frame hasn't suffered that much as it's still straight..

Plan is to rebuild it with Campagnolo Record Pista parts, but not a catalog replica as it's a bit boring..

Also, I'm waiting for something from eastern Europe

Victoria Titanium, Ex-Lithuanian team bike

? and CK BB ?

Awesome. Great to see builds like this on here still.

1"1/8th steerer? How stiff do you find the stem bar combo?

Have you ever built an ugly bike?

You win the fixie game.

Yes it's true but the chain is stretched like thong

@gaston CK titanium is 1'1/8, and Victoria head tube is 1'inch :(

@jono84 thank you, it's 1'inch steerer, if you're looking for a stiff stem, the Grammo isn't for you, but the Nitto bars really do the job..

@Chak yes often, and I still do !
