Your EcoPista looks great! Is it originally black? I'd do many things for an 80's celeste Pista in my size!

 

It was indeed originally black, with gold decals + the Piaggio stickers as well. All columbus tubing like the Super Pista, but with Gipiemme dropouts and componentry instead of Campagnolo. Gipiemme was supposedly started in the 70s by former Campagnolo engineers - this has been disputed, but there's not much evidence either way. They made a wide variety of stuff, mostly comparable to the full range Campy parts during the 70s and 80s. They still manufacture wheels and such.

My bike has a full Gipiemme Special Pista gruppo, which took FOREVER to find. I had to buy 3 different bottom brackets to get enough mint parts to put a good one together. Bicycles are totally fetish properties, and I am an unapologetic nerd when it comes to such things.

The Eco Pista was produced in the Celeste color as well as black. The chief difference between them is that the Super Pista had a chromed rear triangle and dropouts and a slightly nicer tubeset along with the aforementioned Campagnolo dropouts. What size are you looking for? They do pop up from time to time on various forums and on ebay.

 

I'm glad Subaru is/was sponsoring hotties.

 

I want to see your NBD!!!

 

Still waiting on that wheelset, a cassette, front derailleur, chain, and cable set .

 

I wish I could ride my a road bike around. Unfortunately where I live, there are no sidewalks or bikelanes. Just the joy of having rednecks in big trucks running you off the road. It's a good place if you were into huge, unforgiving hills though. lol

Right now I have a ghetto mtn bike and bmx.

 

Sounds good. I'll be waiting patiently.


Flatten those hills with your MTB =)

 

Update on my bikes.

Cross bike! If anyone is down to do some trail riding, let me know.

Finally got the fit dialed in on the roadie.

Track bike also finally got dialed in.

Gfs fixed gear.

 

I try. I seem to get tired way too quickly. lol (maybe too much four loco? just kidding)

Any tips on training to build bike endurance?

 

Looking good Al.

 

Just get on the bike and go! Get that heart rate going.
