This bike started life as a 1987 black Bianchi Brava, rescued from a friend’s garage. I’ve got a workout/events bike, so I thought I’d build it into a casual “urban”. Frame and forks were in great shape, but paint was iffy, so had them PC’d. I kept the original headset, BB, seatpost and brakes. New wheels, stem, bars, 1x11 drivetrain. To move the chainline out, I substituted a “D-3A” spindle in the BB.
