Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I believe I was over by you tonight, I was over by Chinatown at UPS. Then I went to some bar that has 2.50 Schlitz and had Tamales @ some place called Burrito King. But Koreatown is wear I lay and I love it, I just wish more people who ride bikes were around here. We should get together and ride sometime.

I love the Colnago, but the paint is way to tame for me. I love Colnago's and the absurdity of some of the paint jobs.

Colnago Super track, 1972. Full Campy Record Pista, Cinelli cockpit.

The entire set is here: https://flickr.com/photos/absenter/sets/1080720/


In its original period-correct mode:


Some street tweakage:


More tweakage:


Big ups to TNCLR for hooking me up with the seatpost a while ago. The bike is undergoing more tweakage - I just rebuild one of the sets of Campy Record Pista wheels it came with - laced the hubs (polished them too) to FIR Net97 rims. But I'm switching that out to some super low-profile Campy Strada rims or polished FIR EA10 rims. Gotta keep it all Italian (okay, maybe the eggbeaters aren't...)

TNCLR - always good to see those beautiful steeds. Speaking of which, what rims on the DeRosa?

My turn! Early 80's Gios Torino, all Campy drivetrain (except for Shimano 600 pedals & clips).
Cinelli stem and bars, Campy seatpost, now sporting a white Turbo. Paint touch-up and new
decals will happen over the winter, if I can stand to not ride it for a while.

These have been posted before as well, but here they are. The Pogliaghi is all Italian(c-record/super record mix & cinelli), except possibly the spokes. The Tomassini's a weird one, Italian made, but from Japanese tubing(tange aero) and built with dura ace 10 pitch, right down to the dropouts. Really needs some new paint though...

sylvia, my 80's bianchi pista... i'm thinking '86ish because it has the bianchi logo'ed columbus stickers... and tubes too of course. it's chromed underneath the celeste. gipiemme fork ends and track ends. 3ttt bar and stem, benotto tape, ofmega headset, campagnolo record cranks, original 48t chainring, sram pc-7x chain, bianchi logo'ed selle italia saddle, mavic ellipses, campagnolo 16t cog, eai 14t cog, ti egg beaters, continental attack/force (soon to be replaced with vredestein fortezza's).. this photo i have a primax seatpost, but now i have a black thompson one.

when i first got her, she had all itm stuff and the bianchi logo'ed cranks... which i think are ofmega, which i think was all stock. the only original parts still on her is the chainring, saddle, headset, and bb. i'm replacing the bb very soon though. i think eventually a record headset will be in order as well.

Love the Pog... really the only Italian brand I'm into. I noted that you had the C-Record/Super Record mix. Has anyone actually -seen- a C-Record Pista crankset? I can't say that I have, and I've been looking for one... I've only actually seen the hubs from that group.

Sorry for the derail, but at least the question's italian

C record crank is on my Gianni Motta, also on my Alma Pura. I will update the photo on the Motta beause it is all C record,I found my old C Rec Platform pedals which is now on the Motta.

The pog is currently a Blasphemous yellow green fade
(see below) with a filled ding in top tube.
I've already got a local framebuilder lined up to
repaint and check out the top tube ding.
Colour will be red (original colour of frame).
I'm still waiting on delivery of the frame
and collecting pistabits for it.
