sputnik-f1 Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 That looks like its going to be one mean Fixie, or are you just going to ss it?I am looking at a 2004 Bianchi Pista frame on Ebay at the moment. Very tempted to get it.It looks like the one in the pic, although it is not that one. ( Can't copy the pics on Ebay) Here is the Ebay linky:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130485836732&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_1267wt_1141

Tuxstir Posted June 11, 2011 Author Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) so its been awhile since i last posted .so here's a update.no much changed..i now have a built rear wheel..just need to get a tyre fitted.I'm stuck between choices. i have 3 front hubs i could use. all 3 are in need of bearings and the axle. the front one is a 36 hole Suzie hub large flange.followed by a small flange 32 hole Campie hub.and lastly a 28 hole large flange Campie hub...I'm leaning towards the latter option.oe of my biggest searches. the plunger bolt for my stem.. finally found one.and when one does not have the correct tools for the job... make one..the second Bottom Bracket tool I've cut at work.

LeTurbo Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Coolness, Tedibear! Taking her for Jo'burg Critical Mass (last Friday of the month, I think)? And I hope that old chainring finds a good home ...
Tuxstir Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 did you make the top chain ring yourself? and if so, what aluminium did you use? and what did it cost? yes made it myself.i think 1200h4 its soft and going wear out i think in the first ride lol. but will make one out of staonless.. unfortunately our company does not stock stronger aluminuim like 6068 but oh well. and for me nothing..
