Pista Porn
I did some upgrades recently and snapped some photos of my Pista. I was able to find the hard-to-find Cinelli track bars and stem. I also stumbled upon and brand new Selle Italia Alpine saddle that I've never seen before. Overall I'm digging the build. Want to move to clips next and then I'm thinking about a Campy crank. Can't wait to take it to the track. Anyway, thought you folks might appreciate some pics.

I know but in the Bike Porn thread you're not suppose to post your own bike and I thought the Pista thread was only for Pista Concepts. In the end, who cares. It's a forum.

I didn't mean to steal his thunder - I just thought it was cool he posted up his modern pista w/ similar saddle (color), bars and grips.

i really like your build. withe the gum wall tires, cinelli fork (looks great!) and white parts. definately need an all silver crank though.
also this is the first chrome pista ive really noticed looks better with the decals than stripping them off

I like the white fork. Is it the stock fork painted, or is it something else?
I think the black chainring is ok. You don't want your bike to be too shiny.
What tires are you using?
