It's custom.

The pista concept came in only: athena white, celeste decals; celeste, black decals; and the rarer black, celeste decals and white army lettering for the name of the bike and year. Forks were always black with celeste bianchi decal.

Looking to build up a bike from scratch and i'm pretty much in love with this color combo.
i think they may have painted it and printed out red vinyl decals...

Ahh okay. Thanks everyone for your clarification on that.

I'm friends with a guy who can powdercoat a frame for me real cheap ($20 cheap) so I might just do that!

I've been saving up my hard earned money for this frame for a while, and I like the geo so i'm def going to go with the pista.

What do you all mean by Vinyl?

Does anyone know what sizes of the Concept had sloping top tubes? How about the Super Pista?

For some reason, with these particular frames, it can be really difficult to tell in pictures.

I don't think any of them do.... Maybe a very slight angle on the smallest, 49cm size?

Hard to tell. I have sloping top-tube paranoia.

Technically: 51cm and below
Visually: 49cm and below

Don't listen to the estimated geometry diagram.

don't forget to add a rack to make taking PBR home easier.

Okay, kidding aside the bike looks great.

Hey guys, out of curiosity, why are there so many somewhat unwrecked pristine pista concept frames for sale without their stock fork? I'm asking this as it is to my knowledge that the pista concept was only sold as a frameset not frame only....
