The aim of the bike is to build it with all italian components. (Well trying my best to source all the italian parts I can) Waited for about 6 months to get my frame from Pelizzoli! 5 months of that was the build (where in between there was a holiday for Pelizzoli staff, couldn't get the chromer to finish the job etc) and then 1 month of waiting for it to be shipped! When it was accidentally shipped to another customer in SWEDEN! lol Anyways, it's almost finished. about 90% there, just a few minor things to get a hold of. I'd like to thank my fiancée for getting the Pelizzoli Pista GP for me for our anniversary present. She says "I'm going to be honest and say...you're only popular because of the pretty bike frame i got you :)......and because your fiance has good taste in...everything" lol

awesome bike. I really like the colour. On the third pic in bright daylight it looks like sky blue while on the other pics its got some kind of light green touch. Can you tell me on which pic the colour looks most real to you.
Thanx
Posted 3 months ago
the one in the sunlight is the most real color, although it changes tone depending lighting
Posted 3 months ago
thanks. now I know what colour I'm going for - eau limpide looks so nice.

hey our bikes ould be siblings... btw I've also had a cinelli mash frame but the pelizzoli changed everything. besides I thought having two track bikes to be superfluous. anyway big ups to your pista!

hey man how long did your bike take to get to you? from the time you sent the deposit til it was at your door?
Posted 4 months ago
took a month from when it was finished to ship to me. And got mucked up and sent to someone else instead!
Posted 3 months ago
steel is real indeed. this is one stellar build my friend. what a beauty!
Posted 4 months ago
are these campagnolo hubs from the newest campy record track group or did they come with shamals?
Posted 4 months ago
the front is an original shamal 16H front. The rear is from the new campy set, 32h rear. The front had a quick campy QR which i switched out for my front campy track axle and nuts from my record track 28h hubs.
Posted 4 months ago
were the campy hubs expensive? did you find a good deal locally or bought it from a dealer? i'm planning on building a track bike with a complete campy record track group and just trying to guess how much are these parts..
Posted 4 months ago
hubs are reasonable price. i bought them online, so i saved a sack load of money than buying straight from my local, even with my discount i got with them, it still came out cheaper to buy the lot from online stores. But at the end of the day, it whether you want to support your local shop and get them to fit it all for you or do it yourself. Buying a full campy set will definitely set you back a bit depending on what you buy. Rare = super expensive, Vintage = Expensive, Current = Expensive. lol
Posted 4 months ago
i was thinking about going with a current campy group..hence the question whether your hubs are infact new or vintage! thanks for the info! nice build by the way! cheers.

Wow, you have an awesome fiancée!! I'm fricken jealous!!!
Posted 5 months ago
This bike is literally... spectacular!!!
How much did you get your cranks for, man? I'm thinking of bidding on a pair of polished 151bcd and they're already at 233 + 11 shipping. And despite the price that I get them for, I would purchase a NOS 56t matching chainring for it for 95 + 5 shipping.
What do you think of those prices?
Posted 5 months ago
FUCK?! 56t?!?!!?! holly smokes, does your frame chain stay have the clearance to fit a chain ring that big?????
$233 is pretty expensive. But it's your money, an investment I guess?
Have a look on London fixed gear single speed forums for something for sale? or akfixed forums, which is what i use to get most of my stuff. Post a WTB: Campy cranks, heaps of the boys here have something for sale lol.
Posted 5 months ago
AHAHA! 56t isn't that much bigger than your 53t in terms of gear inches; the difference is really made in the cog. And now that you mention it, I'm not sure id it would clear! D: However, I don't think that I would end up putting vintage Campy cranks on my carbon bike, haha; and all of my other bikes have had a LOT of room in between my 54t and the chainstay. Plus, if it doesn't fit, I can just sacrifice my chainline and get a wider bb.
Thanks for all the help man. :]
And btw, where did you get all of your stuff polished at (or, what type of place) and what were the rates?
Posted 5 months ago
very nice build.
i have a plan to order pelizzoli pista GP frameset too. So i want to make sure about the size. i ride italian frame 55 cm now and im 180 cm tall. does the pista GP 56 cm fit to me and how tall are you?
Posted 5 months ago
i'm about 180cm too. I have a 55cm MASH and the 56cm Pelizzoli isn't very much different to one another.
All depends on what you want to achieve out of it? I like track frames fitted to me, other than that a lot of other people ride a size smaller to there actual fitted size, which allows you more freedom doesn't feel as big, but you lose a bit of feel and control riding a smaller bike (a bit twitchy)
You should be fine with the 56cm.
Posted 5 months ago
no probs. Frame is standard size. If you want to go custom, it's best you get fitted, measured up by them etc. That way you'll have the best geo to match what ever style of riding you want to use it for. If it's just going to be a commuter i'd recommend sticking with standard size.

sick bike dude! great job on the parts selection!
Posted 5 months ago
Thanks buddy! Took a while to collect all the parts! but she's all finished now
Posted 5 months ago
So beautiful! :D How's it ride? Also, if you don't mind me asking, how much was the frame? If you don't know because it was a present, then that's fine :) I was considering this for my next project since I have so much trouble finding frames in my size, and according to their website they do sizes larger than 58.
Posted 6 months ago
Hey, unsure how much it cost. As it was a gift. But rides a lot better than my MASH. i prefer riding this daily. Well worth the investment!
Posted 6 months ago
You think Mr. Pelizzoli was too lazy to paint the seat stay joint so he just markered it? Lol jk, hands down BEST track build I've seen so far. And I have pretty good taste ;)
Posted 6 months ago
Bit of a silly question; but what length is that stem? Just it looks spot on and can't decide on 11 or 12cm. Oh yeah, lovely bike obviously.
Posted 7 months ago
hey unsure on the size. I'll check it when i get back from holiday. I think 110?
Posted 6 months ago
Wow that stem and seatpost are nice! Im gonna get some TB14s too. Oh and dam that frame is nice.
Posted 7 months ago
How are those TB14s? Would you recommend them?
Posted 7 months ago
Yeah they're pretty good actually. Compared to my mavic open pro's these have a better roll. Just remember to lace them to some decent hubs.
Posted 7 months ago
Really lovely looking bike!
congrats!
No I just gotta start waiting for my gf to get me one of those... yeah, right.
Posted 8 months ago

very nice frame material. i thought about buying one of those too. i love your choice of color and the parts you were taking.
Posted 8 months ago
Steel is real. You definitely won't regret getting a pelizzoli thats for sure :)
Posted 8 months ago
Pure. Cant go wrong with italians. :)
Posted 8 months ago
haha well definitely can't go wrong with their craftsmanship, but other things like shipping the right frame to the right person maybe a bit of a headache :)
Posted 8 months ago
Dope! I didn't realise you were putting the Shamals on it. It's gonna be awesome!
Also, girls who get you frames like this should be married as soon as possible...
Posted 8 months ago
haha yeah, I was quick to act on getting a ring on that finger :)
yeah bro, CAMPAGNOLO SHAMALS!! I got them commercially polished, it's going to be super bling
Posted 8 months ago
perfect. really perfect. more pictures when you get a chance please, maybe some close up shots of the chrome head lugs, seat cluster, dropouts, etc. but you should be really proud of this one.
Posted 8 months ago
Yeah definitely very proud of this build, will get some close up shots when I'm back from Sydney Film Festival. Hopefully the Shamals will be built by then.
