London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

Gah, I meant he posted it in the current project thread after doing it up.

Nothing as nice as the classic Bianchi Pista (with integrated headset) thought;

That is nice the headset is quite rare I suspect

that classic is a beut.
wouldn't it be fun if everyone who owns a bianchi pista posts a pic of it on this thread?

:-)

Thanks for the comments it's still a project as i will be doing a couple more things to it.

isn't that what the anti-porn thread is for ?

;)

Didn't I did that with the several reinceration of my Pista?

dunno. i don't bother looking at OTP's :-)

Ed

Have you still got some pics of what you did to your Pista by the way that cinelli saddle is nice,the new ones look orrid,I have a Rolls and a white Condor,the Rolls look ok but i am not sure about the Gold coloured bits on it.

Sorry it's a link or even a repost.

want a a fuckinn ledgand ,, he is wearin vanss :)

gravity bikes rock!

ISNT THAT A HALO AERORAGE AT THE FRONT > emmmm

I'm not going to post a picture, but merely put an link down since this is bike porn, but this is the best looking Pista I've done so far (at least that what I like to think).

I do think the old Cinelli saddle are better on it, you can call up Tour de Ville as they have some old stock lying around for you.

Ed were those bars 123s or 125s?

The frame forks & paint mainly.

^ ewwww

it looks like a nu-rave nightmare

yet it's merely a bicycle! rendered using colours! don't blame it for your own petty associations!

would make a nice TT frame..

123aa.

is that the 07 or 08 pista? geometry looks quite nice. i know its your old bike but its nice, everything goes together very well.

08 and it have a road fork on it, that why the geo look different, it now got a track fork with scarily tight clearance and bit of toes overlappage.

ah, yeah that stem/fork thing you had going on is definitely a must with the bianchi pista. imho the stock forks are foul, and on a bike like that the stem looks out of place, especially if you already change the forks to a nice lugged track fork.

but yeah, as i said, very nice.

Or even that threaded fork kingcutter got, that's just perfect for a lugless steel frame.

In case anyone has missed it...

2009-07-11 Sat - Emma Memorial ride
In memory of another life tragically taken from us on the roads of London, there will be a memorial ride on this date where we will visit the spot where Emma passed away, I have spoken to Riccardo, and he will be writing a small piece about Emma and her Life which will be recited at the Stone Circle (the usual critical mass starting point). Beginning at 6pm, we will start/finish at this point taking in sections of Central and West London to hopefully offer a very visible presence, and give Emma a worthy send off from her fellow cyclists. I'll be planning the route over the next week, but help with printing/laminating of spoke cards for this would be much appreciated. Tell your friends, tell your colleagues, tell your loved ones, tell everyone, see you there.

Update:

Start at the stone circle (southbank) 6pm
Route through central London including accident spot in Holborn
Finish at stone circle approximately 8-8:30pm

I hate to be a nagger, but we can see that on the header next to the donate button.

Have some respect Ed!

Racist.

Fixed, through the magic of chiasmus

yeah true, being lugless it matches the frame perfectly.

Fausto Coppi's 1952 Bike




http://www.rouleur.cc/recent-features/238-coppibike



"In the 1950s racing bikes were made almost entirely of steel. Aluminium was still rare and exotic, just as carbon became at the beginning of the 1990s. Nowadays at the Giro almost all the bicycles are made entirely of carbon, with the chain being pretty much the only steel item on the bike. That's not to say that steel bikes weren't pushing innovation, as you can see by Fausto Coppi's 1952 race bike, there are a few things that designers and bike builders still have in use today – and some ideas they 'pinched' too. Last year Rouleur took a trip to the Bianchi factory (see issue ten of Rouleur). The headquarters is based just outside of Milan in Treviglio. It was a busman's holiday, make no mistake, but was still a wonderful learning experience. Allowed to wander through the factory we found countless treasures, old chroming tanks, celeste coloured spray booths and welding bays – through to the modern bike building workshop where mechanics busily assembled the latest range of bikes, with the same care and attention that Bianchi have always paid to building fine racing bikes.
We spent hours nudging and nosing around the prototype workshop, which was full of ancient and modern delights, the past decades of cycling technology all spread out like a cycle jumble. Bianchi are proud of their racing pedigree and so they have kept and preserved many of the race winning historical bikes, on display are those that once belonged to Felice Gimondi, Gianni Bugno and Marco Pantani among many others (more pictures of these will follow at some point).
Amongst all these valuable, priceless bikes there was one that stood out as a gem. This is Fausto Coppi's 1952 World Championship winning Bianchi Specialissima complete with insulated bottle covers, Campagnolo derailleurs, Ambrosio forged aluminium stem and Universal brakes. The frame was a huge advance on the bikes of the time, with chrome lugs and an early integrated style headset (who said that there are new ideas in frame building?).
So, here are some photographs of the most famous Celeste coloured bike of all time..."



simply amazing!

dunno if it has been posted... just found it.
E (fucking) P I C

I had the full 10 min HD version of that a while back. Must have deleted it and can't find it anywhere on the net!

can someone tell me the soundtrack list to this please ?

I think this bike is really beautiful, and I particularly like the cover on the top tube. I am just slightly unsure what this kind of thing is called and where I could find one in red...or maybe this is just handlebar tape..i am quite unsure...
http://fixedgeargallery.com/2009/jun...moliemolie.htm

Definitely bar tape.

I honestly can't see anything I like in that bike. Monstrosity.

Wow that's really just a piece of posh wank.

Totally not in a state to ride, so someone's spent along time touching it inappropriately... but not riding it.

It's even photographed on a bed, surrounded by towels and lube!

it's poo.

it looks all expensive and posh and stuff, but has chopped & flopped bullhorns? :-S

jes, does the owner sleeps with the bike? someone needs to get dating!! appart from that, what a nice seat post

preety please

I told you he's a total wanker! That seatpost probably goes up his arse.

You figured wrong. That's why readers' wives are deprecated; you have a tremendously over-inflated idea of how hot your bike is.

it is nice but NOTHING is an exception. Put it in the names and faces and if it's considered porn someone will probably put it in here ;)

Tut Tut TuT! No one is exempt!

Yes. They have been making them since 1966!

something tells me he's not jealous?

Nothing to do with jealously, it's a nice bike but it's not porn, just because the frame is those lovely cannondale one doesn't make it is.

if a person think your bike is porn (if you post it in the name and face topic), they'll post it here.
