a friend of mine hooked me up with getting a bike (cause i needed the frame) a week ago
the frame actually fits me perfectly (58cm) so i bought it from his coworker and put all my **** on it. the schwinn frame was way too small (53cm) so im gonna finish putting primer on the schwinn frame (i had it sandblasted and took off the braze ons) and then probably trade it away. im gonna be sandblasting this frame and taking off the braze-ons smooth out the frame and have it repainted maybe powdercoated....i think the color on it looks sexxy so im gonna be keeping that color. it has some rust on it but hopefully that will be taken care of http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ad/Bianchi.jpg |

Just an update... only thing left is to get a black crank, probably just annodize the ones on there now and msngr suggested a gold chain when the bike is finished in all black.
ritchey seatpost profile H2O stem, 70mm, 67degree drop deda pista bars iro wheels, will probably get the canecreek tubies for the track later on. |

I bought the frame from the son of the builder, Marcell Mulholland, but the only things he could tell me are that it uses a Zona tubeset and has nice lightweight dropouts. I'm not sure what kind of lugs and dropouts these actually are so if there are any experts that can identify them I'd be grateful! Here are some pics I snapped that don't do justice to the loveley red/bronze fade paintjob and great illuminati-style decals.

Here's my '05 Bianchi Pista, purchased at River City Bicycles in Portland, OR. I stripped the decals off after seeing the results from others on this forum, and I'm very pleased with the way it turned out.
All components are stock except for the following: Fork -- Easton EC30 Carbon w/ 45mm offset (replaces the stock unicrown steel fork w/ 28mm offset) Stem -- Deda 90mm Grips -- Yoshida Champ 4mm Pedals -- Time ATAC Alium Cog -- 15t D/A Saddle -- WTB Podium http://www.bikeforums.net/attachment...tid=9665&stc=1 |

Nice Pista, lunacycle.

Here's my update of El Bastardo...
Frame as it sits... http://www.endlessearthphoto.com/YOK...s/IMG_7284.jpg (primed with POR-15 primer and one coat of satin black so far...) ...and yes, I'm keeping the crank arm on for a reason LOL...it makes a great way to handle the bike without getting oils and grease on the frame and the bars I scrounged up...the Cinelli's are cool, but the stem won't work with my threadless so I'm in search of a stem http://www.endlessearthphoto.com/cinellibar_1.jpg |
I love crested bars. Nice find.

I got impatient and threw as many parts together as I could. I still need to get the frame prepped and the headset and bb installed. |
