Bianchi Specialissima
I've had this for awhile now waiting for some attention. Did a refresh and cleanup of everything, built some new wheels with period correct hubs and rims, everything else is original I believe. These are really pretty bikes. (and I know the seat isn't adjusted right yet although some of that is distortion).

A nice bike, nicely proportioned, nicely presented.
Does it matter that the cable clamps on the top tube are not exactly equidistant, at least to my eye? It jumps out at me because the rest of the bike ticks all the boxes for perfection.

Absolutely fantastic!

Well darn now I have to go measure. They actually had to go back where they originally were to cover marks in the paint. They do look equidistant to me.

I usually nudge the middle top tube clip a wee bit forward.
BUT, if there is a witness mark, sometimes you have to go with what came before.
Black and Chrome, a Tuxedo bike.
I have a black and chrome bike but no fancy chrome lugs and seat tube panels...
The average person, seems to be aware of them too, I have received a few drivers slow down, drop a window and advise, Nice Bike.
