Bianchi Pista minus decals?

yeah it is (I can tell), I'd love to removed the decals, how you go about doing that? I'm not sure what kind of decals that look like it's pretty much welded to the frame.

AFAIK the decals on a bianchi pista are under a layer of clearcoat?

that what it is? blah, I was hoping there's an easy way to removed them, if only they use normal sticker, hand and white spirit is all I need to removed them.

paint stripper, easy.

Yeah nortomorse! (sp?) take care on the old eyes though, dangerous stuff.

Anyone who sees me I'll probably be on one of my two commuting steeds.

Oh, and I'm Dov by the way, HI!

Hi, has anyone ever told you that you bear a resemblance to Brian from The life of Brian? (Not meant as an insult but an observation).

hi Neil.

that pista must have been shotblasted or something surely? looks a bit duller than the chromed up stock ones. i like it very much. you cant buy just a pista frameset can you?

Everything is stock except for:
-Mavic Ellipse Track Wheelset(Radial Front,2X Rear)
-MKS Pedals and Clips,Toshi Double-straps
-Chopped down Viking handlebars

As for stripping the decals,I just used a Paint and Varnish remover.If you do use this stuff,watch out though cus its lethal.I had gloves on and everything but I somehow managed to flick some onto my face,burned the shit out of my skin.Also,bike looks shinier in person,it was pretty dull went I took the photo!

that it? does it actually also removed the sticker too? or you'll have to removed it by hand after removing the layer?

Yeah the stuff I used took everything off no problem.When you first put it on you see the stickers and everything bubbling up but don't worry about it.Make sure you cover everywhere(I used a paint brush),leave it for a half hour and then wipe all the crap off with a cloth soaked in White spirits.

thank mates, that sound advice, I'm gonna do that to my Pista, no worried about our being matched in the street of London; I'm getting some velocity coloured rims either way (probably metallic maroon).

Good Luck with it.And you have about a 2 in 365 chance of seeing me on the streets of London,I Live in Ireland.

Hello

I've been hanging around for a few months, making a few comments. Thought I'd introduce myself proper like.

My bike:

Me:

I originally bought an old Nishiki road bike back in January under the insistence of my girlfriend. Converted it very very cheaply to single-speed with Ratboy donating me a couple of old wheels. (thanks very much again!)

Now hooked on cycling again (used to ride my BMX everywhere around Brighton, but distances so much further in London to justify riding it so much) and have bought a shiny new IRO that I am now scared to leave anywhere for too long for fear of getting nicked!

teh bikes:

teh face:

Hello,
So I've been on here for a bit, thought i should show my face.
Have been riding BMX for about 10 yrs, moved to London two years ago and started riding fixed.

BMX is an fbm bitchin camero, S&M and profile parts etc...
Big wheels is my dads old raleigh, stripped and clear coated from teh 60's i think, converted pretty cheaply from bits i had laying about, but it's awesome fun

where the fuck do i find both, these handlebars and a female like that?

top half doesn't look as good as the bottom half
