Well worth doing, still my favourite riding retro bike too date. Fantastic all rounder & climbing is a breeze. It gets well used :facepalm:

Never been a fan really of those tyres but on a Bianchi I must admit they work well

The purists will mark down the canti fork/V brake combo tho

yes totally agree on canti fork/v brake issue :facepalm:

However purists will be VERY happy to know this very bike gets ridden monthly (regularly). Out in the wild where it belongs across the Highlands of Scotland :mrgreen:

Then cleaned / polished to perfection after each ride.

Well i cant help having a long stalk
Orange did a 15cm stalk stem back the day. Have quite a lot of these 15cm stalks on on my retro oranges.. Probably looks bigger given the angle the pictures taken at and the fact its white.. sounds quite dodgy all this :facepalm: . Anyhow like a long stem on a aesthetics point of view.
