For Sale: Colnago Pista 58x58

Up for sale a nice vintage Colnago Pista complete bike.
It used to run in velodromes only, as a workhorse of the Hungarian National Team. For almost 20 years now sits however in a collection.
It has plenty of small paint chips, scratches and tiny surface rust every here and there, especially around the ends and the BB shell, but I decided against restoring it, as the wounds of races kind of qualify for a decent patina in my eyes. Should you need, decals are easy to get on the bay, and the paint scheme is simple too. I might even have the decals if I check it deep enough. The chrome of the fork is also having extensive scratches and some bubbling. Incredible, but it seems to have survived without a dent.

Size: ST: 58cm (C-C), TT: 58cm (C-C), HT: 175mm
Parts: Campa Record hubs laced to Ambrosio Metamorphosis tubulars, 170mm Campa Record cranks, 3ttt, Colnago panto stem (red filling color faded): 115mm, 3ttt Colnago panto handlebar: 40cm (C-C), stand-over height: 84cm.

I know it's steep, but I'm looking for 1200 pounds shipped. I pack in a standard bicycle box with loads of protection all over the bike, and ship it via EMS traceable pack or an international courier, depending on country. Payment preferred through PayPal for buyer protection, but transfer is fine too. Open for some reasonable negotiations.

shit the bed, that is nice.

I'd hang it on my wall.

Yep! Porn shots.

Amazing. Fair price too. Please tell me you also have a spare pair of Colnago track forks?

that is just beautiful, would buy immediately if it was 56cm!

omg its beautiful

sorry man, these tight forks are difficult nowadays to put your hands on, as opposed to road forks which come even cheaper than the Colnago name would suggest.

Seks.

Oh I know.. I know... had to get some Fauxnago ones custom made for mine!

1200 pounds is dead cheap. I'd rock that as a Monét on my wall and take it out on Sundays when it's bone-dry outside.

Now I wish I had those 1200 squids laying around...

Gonna sell my man fruit and buy something like that !

Seems it's being done properly and with consideration but i think it's always sad replacing paint, a life lived is a life loved..

Especially sad with this bike. It belonged to a National Team, it participated in several unrepeatable races around the world. That is the exact reason why the process is slow, we are still debating the new coat in quality and color scheme. So far the bike has been taken apart and the fork sent for re-chroming, as it had some chipping/flaking. Find pictures in the same album. An extra road fork is considered for street use, besides the original.

she is a beauty and is being restored very tastefully and will be treasured very much when I receive her

she's looking beautiful - all repsprayed and cleaned up

Restored - soul lost

Especially if the orig color was as good as it were
