Bianchi Pursuit Pista

Miglos' new whip, for two reasons:

1.) The front wheel is the first wheel I ever built (teh link makes me LOL a little...) and it seems to be still holding up fine. Makes me proud. ;)

2.) There's a LOOK Ergostem right there and I already posted some Ergostems earlier today.

Dual Drive: "so stiff and responsive its amazing!"

Seen on SF Craigslist:

"Dual drive, yes a chain on both sides of the frame!!! the one and only in the world!!! this makes the frame so stiff and responsive its amazing! 


...the bike is pimp and is def to make a scene in the city!!!"

57/22

While I'm still on the subject of large chainrings, new gearing on Ilkka's Pista looks the biznizz.

Pic for Friday

I must say I haven't been bothered posting any of fixfixfix's photography here recently because I'm not entirely sure what to think of it but here here goes. Nice Bianchi.

Another Old School Bianchi Pista

There's an interesting older Bianchi track bike on our Finnish online auction site.

The seller claims it is from1940s or 1950s and that "it has been raced on the track at national level" and comes with two pairs of wheels, the other with wooden rims. It will be a cool project for someone and as far as I can see it looks to be quite similar to the nice restored one I posted here earlier.

EDIT.

Tnts managed to extract what appears to be correct sizing info from the seller and it's obviously way too big for me. Frankly I'm relieved. But here's some more photos:
