Stamped Colnago pista forktips - got em'.

Building will commence soonish.

Anyone want to buy my other fork. 192mm, 27mm or so threaded.

Dibs.

Too late mate!

This looks great, as does your Instagram feed!

Cheers Fahr!

Now, let's save up for a restore. Har har.

Chris. buy. my. old. fork. ffs.

Newsflash! ....nothing much really.

It'll look like this when finished.

Mine will have half chromed seatstays and fully chromed chainstays though.

C-record bits are mad expensive. This will take a year or two sourcing NOS parts.

^ Cheeky...

Victory Crono on some nice looking hub is probably what is going to happen.

You know campyoldy.co.uk right? They have some NOS C Record for decent prices atm...

Yeah, but 28h rear and 32h front is not what I'm after I'm afraid. I'm laying low until frame is sorted. Slowburner for realz.

looks like is going to be a stunning restoration, well done )

(be still my heart)

This is going to be lovely. Great choice of paint, hard to go wrong with blue and chrome!

looks like original from '88 catalog

I haven't seen a scan of the pista version with the chromed chain and seatstays. I haven't seen a scan of the pista of any sort actually. There was a discussion over at an italian fixedgear forum about a frame that was like mine and they thought it was a '93-'94 model. Can't know for sure.

latest i've seen an esa hailing from was a buckler team one i had , which would have been circa 92, my esa is '88

Need. Want. Expensive to the second degree.

590 quid for the whole resto incl shipping back to me.
That's including the fork, chrome, paint and repair. That's actually decent considering.
Fork is 160 quid.

Good! Let's get them mooonies!

This is going to look lurrrrrrrrvvvvley.

tl;dr - who is doing the respray?
