Yeah actually I have a Isis BB on my 2003 pista, which seems to be failing. I would like to sell the bike, but I don't like the idea of placing a bike on ebay which has potencial problems. So first I spent 12$ on the isis/splined bb puller, now I am going to have to spend around 20 more to get the BB tool so I can actually remove the BB. On top of this I will probably have to replace the bb, I bet I spend 75+ just getting this bike ready to sell, sux...
Also, I know the truativ cranks on the Pista are black, I have just been looking for tapered versions...
