SSCX... I can't find any more "complete" listing than this for what I believe it is...
2008 Bianchi San Jose - BikePedia
(I think it's a 2008 because of wild speculation based on the serial number)... It's mostly that stock stuff, as far as I can tell... save the tires (28s), the tape (fresh and ready to get dirty), and the suicide straps...
Glad you like! I'm definitely feeling this ride and am counting my lucky stars it came across my path, even if it meant a good friend moved the other side of the country.

Awesome looking Rush Franswa! Black does well on our chrome chariots. Love that Turbo, clean. Is it vintage or vintage collection ?
Personally, I like the amt of drop between the saddle and bar. Well proportioned. Are you lucky enough to live near a track ?
Yea, that's the way to tell Bill off ! Ride it !

It's a Turbo re-issue a-la $40 wiggle.com special
Sadly, no where near a velodrome. I keep chanting......if you build it, they will come....

Thanks! I think it's the chrome frame. I feel like just about any build will turn out great with such a handsome frame.
Now I'm hungry for garlic fried rice.

The result of a long running experiment to see what I could build from stuff customers left behind at the bike shop I work in

Yellow is good stuff. Last summer I found a like new Yellow KHS Flite 100 a guy was selling on CL. It was an unused rental from a track a few hours from where I live. Sat there since 2005. Long story short someone got it before I did.
2005 KHS Bikes : : Flite 100
My plan was to do it up in all Blue Brooks but it wasn't to be.

My Kent Fixie. I know most people hate on this bike but I really like it so far.

Front wheel QR needs to be on the other side.
I had an 85 Raleigh Marathon that spent quite a bit of time running around as a SS/fix. Loved it. Is this going to be a commuter ?
