1980s Bianchi Pista

Been tinkering with the idea of starting an Italian project and finally made up my mind!
Will be starting a project on this 1980s Bianchi Pista really soon.

Attached is the photo of the frameset I will be receiving in a few days' time.

Planning to build it to something similar like the one in this 1983 catalogue

Here is the plan of what I aim to match it up with

1. Pantographed Stem in 80-100mm
   
2. Pantographed Seatpost
   
3. Cinelli Pista Handlebar 67
   
4. Cinelli Unicanitor Saddle #2 or #3
   
5. Anodized Gold Rims (saw a pair of Nisi Moncailieri rims in gold for sale here but gotten no response)
   
6. Campagnolo Super Record Hubset 32H/36H
   
7. Campagnolo Super Record Crankset
   
8. Campagnolo Super Record Pedals (black hopefully!)
   
9. Campagnolo Toe Clip with Black Straps (hopefully I can find some really nice italian ones)
   
10. MIGHT send the handlebar and a San Marco Concor Supercorsa to Patebury for wrapping in black
    
    

Hopefully it will turn out alright!

Beautiful bikes these. Always wanted one but somehow never managed to succeed! I have a pair of 67 bars in excellent condition if you'd be interested. Thanks. T

Brilliant, love the classic Pista.

This is going to be sweet, though I would probably stay away from Gold anything.

I may have 9. which I am happy to give on a bosman free if I can find them.

@tomsvoboda thanks man, pm-ed you. I can find another bianchi pista, let me know!

@Antidotes hopefully it will turn out great!

@c4shr yes Kash, only thing gold will be the rims, looking at a pair of nisi mercurio d oro in faint gold at the moment, trying to match the catalogue! but those volares you tagged me, looked so sweet! happy to buy 8 and 9 from you!

Subscribed. I have NOS Campy front hub if you are interested.

These shiny ones would work better imho:

Been so long since i had time on my project!
Anyone have any luck with Campagnolo Super Record / Record Pista hubset in 32H?
Good condition would be great!

Managed to unpack and get back to this project.

Need the following still.

• Campagnolo Record / Super Record Pista 32H Hubset
  
• 3TTT Pista Bars
  
• Campagnolo Toecage / Straps (i can get NOS but the price offered is kind of steep)
  
  

Appreciate if you hit me up if you have any of those!
