Hey there from Tucson, AZ!
 

Hey guys! I'm 23 tomorrow and I just bought a 96 or 97 Bianchi road bike. I'm absolutely in love with it. I just got it a few days ago and this crotch area pain is irritating. I'm hoping that it's just me breaking in my body. haha.

Anyway, have an awesome week and I look forward to getting to some of you!

Welcome John. I am fairly new here too and everyone seems like a good bunch of folks.

Hi John, eventually the pain goes away, honest :) . It could be the way the bike is set up though, so you may need to do some tweaking there.

Welcome to BF!

Hey, what's up man. This is my first post too. I'm from Tucson as well, downtown area. I ride track bikes though.

Hi Toadman! Let's see a photo of your bike(s).

And welcome to BF also!

Sorry for the crappy quality, I don't have a digital camera so I took this with my camera phone.
It's a Liberati custom track from Rome, Italy. I fitted it with vintage dura-ace ex track cranks 165mm. Also an NJS low flange dura-ace rear hub and NJS dura-ace high flange front hub to black mavic open pros.
Then dura-ace seatpost, nitto bars and stem (36mm for squeezing through traffic), mks pedals with toshi double straps, with a WTB speed V seat, because in my opinion, mountain bike seats are more comfy.

Thanks for the welcome East Hill.

Even with the poor quality photo I can see that your bike's a beauty! Did you go to Rome to get fitted for it?
