I'm offering up some rare track bits to the list before submitting to the jackals on eBay. I am located in Silver Lake, Los Angeles.

CINELLI #4 STEEL ADJUSTABLE STAYER PISTA TRACK STEM. $450.

I received this stem with a Pogliaghi Pista I bought a few years back.

As the story goes, the stem was rechromed by Brian Baylis when he repainted the bike in the 1990s.

The stem is glistening and flawless, the chrome perfect. The Cinelli crest still reads well and the fluting is still crisp, not mangled as with many examples that come up on eBay. It also appears to have the original hardware. I personally have never seen one this clean before.

I have stared at it daily and used it as a paperweight but recently came to terms with the fact that I was never going to go so far as to mount it on a bike. It's important to me that it goes to a good home, which is why I would much rather pass it on to a listmember than some random hoarder on ebay.

CINELLI STEEL PISTA TRACK STEM. $275.

13.5mm c-t-c. I believe that this is a #3. Cinelli Milano logo. Very very clean condition with light use. Some insertion marks and surface wear (which a proper polish would surely remove) but this would play nicely on an extremely clean track bike or rider.

CAMPAGNOLO RECORD PISTA TRACK HUBS, 36H. $200 OBO.

Recently rebuilt, these spin smoothly. Missing rear dustcaps, which isn't a concern if you're using these on the track of course.

Some surface wear that would probably polish out. Bearings feel good, as do threads. Including a washer and track nuts.

All prices plus actual shipping and packing costs. Please ask any questions. I have done my best to represent these items clearly and truthfully but be realistic, as these are used bike parts and I'm no expert.

Paypal accepted and I ship immediately after the funds clear unless I know you personally or have dealt with you before, in which case i will ship immediately. Also cash in the LA area is fine.

There isn't much I'm looking for in trade, but if you have a beater/rider/grocery getter track frame with a drilled front fork in 55-56 or a badged Cinelli road stem, try me. Also interested in a titan pista bar/underslung stem setup for a path racer.
