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
