This bicycle was purchased unridden with original packaging in June of 2017. It apparently had been stored as a fine layer of dust was on it and the bearing grease was original and dry as expected.retro steel at its best

Nice I have a 83 Eco Pista and the geo on it is real tight. Are your bikes mounted to a stud or just the drywall?

All iin studs w/ at least one screw! I found out the hard way when one plummeted from the drywall!

This bike is unusual compared to others I've seen since every component is original. The bike was obviously never ridden when I picked it up last week!

This bike has never been ridden. It is brand new, coated in dust. The tires remain unglued!

Hey Zippy. Just checked out your "Pista" Very nice. That thing is original. I like the saddle also. Mine got chewed up in an accident on the track. Nice ride!!!!! You take it out to the track at all?

Truthfully, I bought it specifically to ride our local track which IMO virtually requires a STEEL frame since the surface is uneven asphalt. I ride it on the street as well within "limits"!
