Classic & Vintage - Bianchi Axis II rebuild !

I would like to share this really nice build for the city I made for a friend.
I was indebted towards her because her canadian tire bike was stolen by my fault.
It was kind of worth it for her tho...

Crank : Old specialized, down to a single original 40-something ring
Brakes : Specialized cyclocross mini handles, Dia-Compe cantis

Don't fret the loss of a Crappy Tire bike. Just about anything is better and this sure beats it. I'm with BG, interesting set up!

what's a southpaw ? i'm from montréal québec anyway
but the coop I took it from has a lot of US expats working :p
it has a dealer sticker.. can ne1 ID?
edit : google says it's from a montréal-suburb dealer... dam the stick made it looks like the adirondacks or sumthin !!

there's probably one on velospace but the guy hated the white and fluo colors so he repainted it....

what's a southpaw ?

Slang for a left handed person. You have the left shifter driving the rear derailleur, which would normally be driven by the right shifter.

Cycle Ponce, sounds like a useful insult!

Nice bike bloom87, hope your friend forgives you for letting the other one get stolen.
