Fizik tape or Toshi cloth tape are my favorite.

Actually, I think my favorite part about omgmarclol's build, is the celeste bar tape. Good match.

yes, there is a lot of white-out concepts. i think it's a little redundant/overkill... black wheels add nice contrast to the frame, white wheels just kind of blend in too much. white rims are still my favorite because they go with everything else, just not the concept 07/08's IMO...

i'm surprised no one's done a celeste wheelset on their conept yet.

omgmarclol

i was considering getting a celeste wheelset for my build but didn't for a trivial reason...my girlfriend's pista runs a celeste wheelset with the same bar tape as mine. she said that it would be sick if our bikes matched that much. i agreed.

mine:


hers:


yea. it would be a little disgustingly matchy matchy and said that she would refuse to ride with me

I got that one on ebay. Selle Italia still makes flite saddles, similar shape, but with big ugly logos and unnecessary tech details on the nose.
Check ebay for the classic flite ti. you should be able to get a black one for around $40.

My god...

the black stem and spacers are ruining it for me, but i'm sure that thing weighs like 13lb.

Wonder what chainring that is, looks like a Zen with the decals stripped off.

peabodypride

The decals are still on it. If you look closely in the upper/middle right you can see the swoosh. They are white and don't show up well in the sun on chrome.

I have the option of getting my hands on a 57cm. Brand New in box. Let me know if someone is interested in me shipping this bad boy out to them. I think I am going to end up passing on my frame for an NJS panasonic frame set custom built my size. My loss is your gain.

i bet it weights 15+

Wow! i like...

funny thing is, that's almost exactly how i originally visioned my build to be, but with all dura-ace. it all changed when i got hooked up with my wheels and drops.

meaner than a pista concept:

Marcol, How much post is in the frame? I thought supertypes were supershort.

Looks great.

omgmarclol

thanks. there's about 4" in the frame. it's actually at the minimum insertion limit which happens to be the correct height for me.

The cranks and chainring are polished. There are no logos and that woosh is some sort of reflection. It's a zen chainring also.

bikerdfresh

Still isn't a Bianchi

drainyoo

Yeah I'm looking for the classic one, not this one, and they are hard to find in white.

So, as promised I am telling you guys that Glory Cycles got ten Pista Concepts in.

Some are spoken for.

I got two that were not. 51cm. 55cm.

Good luck, suckahs!

Pics of frames in bubble wrap coming soon!

i never realized the wheelbase was so TIGHT on those felts. god damn! thing looks tighter than my friend's old steel marinoni, which was from the era of italian bikes where they were getting tire-to-frame clearances so close you couldn't stick a cigarette between the front tire and downtube...

i still think the frames are butt ugly. all the more power to you though.

queerpunk

yeah, it's really tight. a bit much, but it rides really stable. handlebars are too big for me, but i'll figure something out. the toe overlap is... um... extreme. two inches. the wheel will hit my look pedals. it takes care to ride it on the street. it's fast. it's light. i took second in a feature race tonight. :fistpump:

it's pretty ugly but wait till i offer you a closeup of the wishbone seatstays.

and yeah, it's still not a bianchi. didn't say it was. just hollerin' at some aluminum track bikes.

chase.

honestly i would have much preferred a TK2 over my track pro if pro deal weren't taken into account. 56cm swapsies anyone?

I've ridden them both, albeit neither on the street, and I thought the Felt seemed a little stiffer and had more snap. The Bianchi was lighter, though.

If I had to pick one, I'd take the Felt too.

spacehippo

PM me if you are looking for a 57cm 2008 Pista concept Frame set, I have one. It's still in the factory wrappings. we can work something out. Act quick!

dervish
