BB length???

Submitted by bonjour0430 on 10/28/2009.

Hi, could you tell me what's the length of this crank's BB? I wanna use the Ofmega Bianchi-panto crank too, but I'm confused about the BB length. Thx.

hubs

Submitted by veganwar on 12/26/2008.

If they look like the old high flanged Campy records, they are probably Ofmega hubs, given you got some of the rest of the Ofmega group on the bike. I have a set which came as part of the complete Ofmega Super Competition group which came on a 1985 or so Pinarello. Campy-copy to be sure, but nice stuff. And nice bike.

are you being sarcastic?

Submitted by room203 on 12/26/2008.

they did a damn good job if it is, since they would have had to rechrome the stays along with the dropouts, grind off all the braze-ons, fill the brake hole on the bridge and repaint/re-decal it afterwards. have a look at this photo: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3066/3134909982_2158bd7bcc_b.jpg

serial number of C559 dates it at 1986.

here is a link to the page in the 1986 catalog with this bike: http://www.bulgier.net/pics/bike/Catalogs/Bianchi-86/3.jpg

as you can see it has the exact same decals in the same places and the stock crankset. (although yes, i know its completely possible that someone could have gotten the crankset off an "real" pista an installed it on a "road conversion")

the bottle cage mounts are RivNuts.

the other frames made that year were no where near as tight as this and the fork is definitely a track fork, even though someone did drill it for a brake.

thanks for playing!

Wow wow wow!!! Great

Submitted by terrible_one49 on 12/26/2008.

Wow wow wow!!! Great craigslist find! I'm jealous! These lugged Pista frames are so much better than the new ones!

Ditch the quick release stuff and the water bottle cage, and yeah...that stem has to go...and you go a great ride!

These old Pista frames sell more than the new ones do!
