Not so much a speed run, but more concerned about safety on a run away down hill, looks like a flat lander hauler.

Now (phone camera)

Not a big change, just new pedals, clips, straps. And I took off the handlebar grips.

Not bad for a beater bike. Change the saddle, handlebars and the fork and it will look decent. Are you running the brake on a non-machined rim? How is it?

I try to avoid using the brake, but before I changed the brake pads, it left a bit of a mark on the rim, so that sucked.
Yeah, it was just built a few weeks ago, so I havent had the time/money to get everything i fully need for it.
In the first pic, those pedals actually weren't mine, I had to borrow them off my friend since he couldnt bike anyways.

I plan on building a better one in the near future.

Well i think it depends if its powdercoated or anodized. I used brakes on black non machined deepvs and it wasn't bad at all since they were anodized.

Interesting how many older celeste Pistas have popped up in this thread lately.

I'll call your Bianchis and raise you a Paramount

My 1976 Schwinn Paramount P14, custom sized 19-1/4" seat tube c-t. Note the factory drilled Campy hubs. Cranks are 151 bcd. Wish I still had the original Campy Record Pista pedals. Classic geometry, 74 degrees st and ht, major toe-to-tire overlap.

This always baffles me. Was there something else holding up the bike and then it was shopped out?

(Page 135 for the pic) What ? You haven't trained your's to stand yet ?

I thought it was for "green" dating, hook it to the back of your bike with a longer arm and handle bar post (chainless & gearless tandem concept) and make her work that pizza dinner off her thighs ? Why should you be the only one pedaling on that date ?

if you don't care about period correctness too much, Origin 8, surprisingly, makes knockoff old-style Campy rings.

looks right for the vintage, but at a fraction of the cost. thinking of throwing one on mine to save the original.

btw, very nice Pista.
