Colnago Super Pista restoration and build

you did it for the skids, admit it

Ok, thanks for the info guys!

It's gonna look amazing on the track dude! Silver is the best colour for pista's, red close second!

You got me... I'm putting a deep drop stem and risers on this (I'm not).

Careful with your trackstands: that's a mighty overlap!

Could knock the mocca latte out of my hand!

Looooool

Don't forget the soya milk dude.

He bloody sold them because I wasn't quick enough!
I wasn't very quick to be fair.
In the meantime, stripped and polished the cranks, didn't have the patience to do a grat job... look ok though.

HA, you've found half this build havent you?
I've got some NOS benotto anyway... chees though!

chris what kind of finish has the halfords paint got? would we be able to see a lil detail shot of it please?
did you use halfords also for the clear coat?
I asked because i always used graffiti intended paint in the past like montana and belton whick worked really well but no chance of a metallic sort of finish which is perhaps more likely with this car paint!
Loving this bike! Decals look great, must have taken real care with them!

will it be ready for the lfgss track day?

Halfords paint is ok... it's def not super shiney though. There is some metallic in it...
I think I was just lucky about the decals to be honest, but thanks!
Yep, plan on hitting the LFGSS track day, I will be the guy going round the track the slowest followed by a cloud of flaking of paint and tears in my eyes...
(Nah, paint isn't *that *delicate).

Lol! Thanks dude.

any updates on this, chris?

It's close, very close, need to get to a hobby shop to get some paint to touch up the rims then clean the pedals and she's good... Thanks for the reminder! Been slacking...

Reckon this'll be ready for HH in a couple of weeks? I'm aiming to get there for an induction early May

It could of been but I forgot it's my GF's birthday the same weekend! Might not make it...

Needs more pictures mate!

Yes, you are right, suns out, it's near done, best finish it off this weekend... might be doable.

What's left?
