This is a Bianchi badged Silva brake bridge They're precision investment castings and text is cast in. Why the text orientation changed could have been at the request of the bike maker or an... OH! S**T! problem???

Yep, I assume a mistake. But there was also supposedly a limit run of a set of these Gan bikes. There's some subtle differences from mine to any of the others I've seen. I've always wondered if maybe the reversed brake bridge was done on purpose to further distinguish these. That's just always speculation on my part.
