80s Marinoni Pista

JUST finished buiding up my dream Marinoni Pista <3

I've been riding a converted Rossi road bike frame for about 20 years and am now at a stage where can treat myself and build my dream bike. I picked up the (restored by Marinoni) frameset and vintage Sugino cranks in Montreal last fall and have been collecting new/used parts since. Montreal has such a strong cycling scene, I've been finding tons of great parts there.

I still have the original non-drilled track fork in a safe place but I do prefer to ride with a brake (I never use it but y'never know!), so I ordered a drilled fork custom from Marinoni. I'll grab some better photos later but I'm super happy with how it turned out!

Now, for the test run!

Vintera III Bass VI - SWAP your parchment guard for my tort guard?

So I just placed my order for the new(ish) Vintera III Bass VI. I couldn't not. I had a fully upgraded Squier that I loved and played a lot but sold out of necessity. When I saw the spec on these, the timing was right so I had to!

I ordered the Oly version and have visions of it with a parchment guard - does anybody have the VIII CAR version and want to go full MBV red/tort with it? Let's chat 😄
