A Japanese Bianchi is crying out for the wheelset from a late-80s Panasonic Team Japan, which I'd been saving for a special build. Sansin gyromaster polished silver hubs with sealed bearings. DT spokes 28F, 32R. Rear is spaced 126mm with space for a 7-speed freewheel, if I recall correctly. Correct Sansin skewers. Araya Aero super hard anodized tubular rims. Brake tracks are clean. Really nice stuff.
Send a PM if interested.
