Dennis, The standard washer was 2.1mm thick whether Pista or Strada. Just about any chrome 1" headset washer will be close.

If you want to use a road fork, having a steerer long enough to use a Strada headset, with a Pista headset, you would need a 5.4mm spacer to make up for the difference in stack heights.

Neither of these measurements is too critical, as steerers are usually cut a thread or 2 short.
