Paino

Built from frame up. Had it for a while.

Drops: WERE Cinelli roadie drops [pictured], now Bianchi pista
(Cinelli ones got mangled (looks like a child’s arm that’s been bent the wrong way) when I crashed into and went over a fence)

Frame: Paino 531c

Stem: 3ttt with original Paino pantograph

Saddle: Serenisima - an old Italian saddle I can’t find any info on

Other: Cinelli crown fork, Miche track pedals.
Other than that, nothing really noteworthy- just the guts of my other fixie. Deserves a nicer build-up, but I don’t have the money.

Nice.

The saddle looks like a San Marco Concor - lovely saddle.

Would love to see a close up of the stem.

The Paino stickers look different to mine though. Is this is a Paino Aussie built frame from Miranda in Sydney, or was there another Paino framebuilder OS (presumably Italy?)

There is only one Frank Paino. And may have been built by Frank Phillips or John Bosevski

Are those the drops you got from me?

Yeah they are. I was saving 'em for a proper track bike- a long term project. When I hit the fence, I needed a new pair and they were lying around, so I thought that I’d better start using them.

I think this one was built by Frank Paino (that was the info I got of the guy that sold it to me).

And a pic of the Cinellis:
