Still a WIP.
Bought this frame with the Bianchi forks from here a few months ago. I had the minty M739 group already, along with the low mileage King/Ringle hubbed Mavic wheelset (laced by Harry Rowland) and NOS Ritchey tyres.
There are a couple of period incorrect parts, namely the Thompson X4 stem and bars, but with this bike intended to be ridden I've gone for comfort here and I think they suit the build visually too. The ODI grips are a great finishing touch, matching well with the forks.
The Cinelli Volare SLX is my favourite old school perch, had it on a number of bikes over the years. A classic look and comfy.
Just the M739 V Brakes, chain and cables to come, which I hope to get done this week.
This will be my first Ti bike, very excited for that first ride. Here's hoping for a long dry summer!
