Rare Breed: Sannino Pursuit Pista

Rare. And scary. That's all I'm saying.
It's up on Ebay right now, look HERE for plenty of more shots.

Pelizzoli Leggenda vs. Cannondale Track

I wonder if it's just a mere coincidence that the new blue aluminum Pelizzoli Leggenda frame, which comes with traditional flat crown steel track fork, has extra fat downtube and has nice smoothed welds, looks bit like Cannondale Track?

Rossin GIBI Baronchelli Pista

'GIBI' Gianbattista Baronchelli's Rossin team track frame handmade by Mario ROSSIN. Currently for sale at LFGSS. 
I certainly can dig this. 

Pelizzoli GP Pista 2011

Giovanni Pelizzoli. Who? Mr. Ciöcc, legendary Italian framebuilder is apparently starting to build classic style steel frames again, both road and track models, under his own name. Here are first shots of the new Pelizzoli GP Pista. Keep an eye here and here if you're feelin' deez steeds. I know I will.

Somec Tandem Pista

Currently for sale in Velospace and the seller claims it belonged to the West Germany's track cycling team way back in the day. But is this the same as that other one?

Vintage Nitto 155 Bars

Serious vintage Nitto hotness!

Model 155 from 1970s. Sure, the crest design is ripped right off from Cinelli but I'll give credit just because of the rarity. Everyone and their mother has Cinelli Criterium bars but not everyone has these.

Rossin Dominator on Ebay

This Rossin Dominator is probably bit special, or at least the Ebay-seller thinks it is:

"I have never seen another bike of this kind! This is quite possibly one of the fastest track bikes designed for going in a straight line out there. If you are slow this bike will make you fast. If you are ugly this bike will make you attractive. Reach speeds that will blow womens clothes off. The bike measures as a 56, but due to the unique geometry, will fit anywhere from a 54 to a 59. The bike has multiple chips (easily touched up with your mom's nail polish) but no dents or deformities whatsoever."

Miche Advanced Chainrings in Colors

Available from Cyclope Paris, for example.

Bressan 'Pistaiolo'

Bressan - Bicyclette Speciali out of (yeah, you guessed it...) Italy, and from Verona to be more specific, sent me an email about their new steel track frameset 'Pistaiolo'. A classic track frame with some very nice touches, like the chromed lugs and forks both in front and rear, plenty of panthographs etc.

There's no word about the type of tubing used or the price but go ahead and check out the site: http://www.bressanbike.com/

San Marco Supercorsa LE // BFF 5 Cities Ltd Ed

I'm really loving these. Supercorsa is my favorite saddle, simple as that.

And you can get those BBF ones from here.

Fausto!

Sannino Pursuit

'Power Black'

Timo's unknown Italian pursuit track bike is ready. I'm loving it, bendy tubes and all. See the bike in its full glory here.

Riding In Circle Online Store

Riding In Circle has a new online store open. 

In case you don't already know, Riding In Circle is a new small brand & company producing custom handmade steel track frames in Vicenza, Italy. Simple as that. 

Ever since the pic below (here's more, click) of their three frame models they made for Cyclope Paris, I've been secretly lusting for their trick frame, wishing no one else would notice them and then they would me mine, all MINE!!! 

Anyhow, there's something about these I really like but I cannot really put my finger on what it is. And this is saying something because in fact I generally don't really feel the Gorillas, EAI Barenuckles or almost any other current production modern dedicated steel street fixed / track frames out there. I just wish the RIC guys would put up their prices on the website. 

Campagnolo Record Pista & ...

More erotic photography from FiXFiXFiX's Flickr, only it's private so you (or at least I) cannot see the new set of photos. But those Milanofixed.com ragazzi had somehow managed to snatch this one from there...

EDIT. 

Thanks to Andye now even I can see 'em. Cheers!

But now the question arises, why would anyone put Campagnolo Record Pista cranks on a conversion? 

Somec Pista

Damn. Vintage Italian Pista hotness on Ebay. But not cheap.

And these are not mine, they're just random pics off the web. So don't email me about prices or sizes, ok?

The Ultimate Fixie Hipster Head Accessory: Cinelli Leather Helmet

Are you often thinking about buying a cycling helmet, after all those years of riding without one, but somehow find it very difficult to actually go and buy one? Maybe you even have a cycling helmet in your cupboard that you bought on one of those weak moments but you never use it because they always look like shit?

Yeah, I feel for you. 

Better yet, I found a perfect solution for you. Mario from Holland has for sale on Ebay this super cool fixed gear hipster head accessory. Black NOS vintage Cinelli leather old shool helmet like this simply cannot be resisted, especially if you're riding a classic Italian track bike, right? And as everybody already knows, Italian vintage Pista bikes are the new Keirin bikes, right? And if a helmet looks this hot & sexy, who cares if it probably doesn't even protect your head that much in case of collision with something hard. 

And if the 1980s- styled black & neon purple color combo is not your thing or it doesn't match your bike, he has this, and this too for sale. And they're not very expensive either, IMHO.

But seriously, I've actually bought some stuff from this Ebay-seller in the past and he was a good dude and he does have some nice parts for sale at all times so check out his selection.
