I was hoping to progress the Ribble, but I need to chase the BB threads to fit the Campag BB. Must save up for a decent tool. Otherwise it'll be more trips to my local framebuilder or LBS.
Instead, next up I'm banging some upgrades on this Bianchi Pista, starting with a Mutant stem.
The Bianchi doesn't have the same attention to detail as a proper handbuilt frame, but it's a nice stiff ride and I do like a bit of chrome. The BB height is a bit low for tight tracks, which confirms its credentials as more of a fixie than a track bike. I may still give it a twizzle at Preston Park or Herne Hill.
