Yes I like bikes built before 1992 myself. I also like lugged frames, gum wall tires, and absolutely nothing anodized black. Aluminum just looks right when it has a polish.

Bianchi-Help Identify

Howdy,
This Bianchi is listed on Craigslist in Palm Springs. The seller said he was gifted the bike and can not tell me much about it. No year, no model.

Is It a Mortal Sin to Ditch Drop Bars for Upright Bars?

Title says it all. I did put Nitto touring bars on my 1988 Trek 400.
At 71 years, I'm not into aerodynamics of drop bars.
I just hope I'm not committing some sort of bicycle etiquette felony.

Hello,
Everything on the bike has been left as I bought it. Haven't even wiped it with a soft rag. Due to shoulder injury and old age, and crankiness, I can't ride much with drop bars anymore.
