It will be a fun thread for all of us on the sidelines.
I never was a big Bianchi aficionado, but the ones I've owned were very, very nice bikes.
FWIW I have used the Modolos racing back in the day and they were solid performers. Also, they were always priced well.
It'll be pretty much box-stock, with some little flourishes, but I think it will look fantastic because it's an old Bianchi
A nice Bianchi has always been in the back of my mind. In the back mainly because ones in super shape in my size have been thin on the ground and expensive (because they all seemed to sport full-panto setups which I don't need). This will be just right in stock Campy SR and NR.
Although I'd like to try the brakes, I do have a local friend who has been looking for a pair for a project, so I'll help by passing these along. I guess I'm also used to the Campy feel and too curmudgeonly to change!
