born again cyclist
My sister and brother-in-law used to live in Lincoln Park. Visited a few times and had the pleasure of riding in Chicago in both the bitterness of December and the brisk April time frame.
Great waterfront to ride....went all along the lake, past soldier field and back...probably a 20 mile ride.... It seems like a great bike-commuting area too. I just dont know how many different areas you could get to...it seemed limited and my brother in law spent alot of time on the trainer..

Thanks. I snagged the NOS frame on ebay about a year ago. It was originally bought as a factory frameset. So it doesn't have all the superfluous printing on the seat and chain stays. Makes it a little more unique. Took it for a hilly 30 miler today. Can really feel the difference in weight between it and my Roubaix.

They don't seem to be too common around these parts, I actually only heard about them when this bike was brought to my attention. The Onix looks amazing though.
I'm a little nervous about all the attention my fancy little bike will draw, especially since I'm a complete newb. Ah well, only one solution to that problem...

Kent GMC Denali. Finding parts, replacing with proper road hardware, and replacing with MTB hardware all have probabilities as 1/inf . But...$165, already own my own tools, and average 19.5 on bumpy road into a 13mph headwind day in day out--works for me!

Hey Guys,
I need some help. I just purchased this older Bianchi Veloce off of ebay and I am trying see how old it is (model/year). I ended up paying $510 for it. You think I got ripped off? The bike is in really good condition and almost all original. I'd also like see if I could get an old manual or exact measurements for it somewhere. Anyways, here are the pictures, let me know if you know anything about the age of the bike and/or if you know anyone who could help with this.

It'll look bright up close, but difficult for cars to see it when it's not aimed correctly. It's amazing how much a difference even a slight angle makes with bicycle taillights.
However to not get all A&S on you and sound negative, I'm jealous how well the white seat/bartape goes with the otherwise mostly black bike.
