Re:

Okey dokey…. I'll stick my hat in the ring. This is this summer's project: a Bianchi Specialissima X4. I may get her out in the sun for a better picture later.


One of the very last great steel frames out of the Reparto Corse department at Bianchi. Built up with Campag and Ive riden a couple of retro events on it. This one is a keeper

Is that some Campagnolo anniversary stuff I spy?

Ha it is indeed. Its complete and matching but missing one pedal dust cap. It took some cleaning up and still could be improved - a work in progress!
