Bianchi Rekord 748 early 1980's
Can anyone tell me if this is in good shape (original)?

Sure is a beauty. How does the ride differ with glueonsor sew ups (are they the same thing) as opposed to clinchers with tubes?

Looks like a very honest bike and if it is Otis' bike I would be extremely confident of it's authenticity.
Everything looks to be authentic and any variations have been listed on an open and honest way.
Personally, I would consider the current price to be a steal.
There is a frame listed a little earlier on in the Bianchi ebay category that I would worry about though.
My suggestion: buy with absolute confidence.
Best of luck,
Gary.

Beautiful bike. Any idea why they spelled Record with a 'K'? I thought it was just the name of the bike but I notice they use a 'K' in "Campagnolo Super Rekord" and in "3TTT Rekord" in the brochure.

Man, I'm not opening the tubular v clincher can 'o worms! But my personal opinion is vintage bikes should wear tubulars. But to be fair, I really do not ride my vintage bikes that often so it's an easy opinion to have.
