Picked up this 2001 Bianchi Mega Pro SL last Friday in Dripping Springs, Texas...has Ultegra Brifters, brakes and front derailleur with a Dura Ace rear derailleur and Mavic Aksium Race wheels. A Thompson seat post and my old Selle San Marco Flite saddle top it off. I put the Lizard Skins DSP Celeste Bar Tape on Sunday...

My Fall project:
Nothing really fancy, I just miss the feel of Steel.
This is how I got her, I haven't tweaked anything yet.
I just picked her up for $90, planning on updating a few things, & making this my grocery/cruiser.
Planning on changing the saddle, & seat post 1st.

Ordered a 2012 Specialized Tarmac Compact(10spd Tiagra) yesterday. I'm thoroughly excited for it to arrive.

I gave her a "once over", & she's in pretty good condition. No rust, & few nicks in the paint, & the fork polished up really nicely, no pitting @ all.
I'll snap a few more pics when the sun comes out.
I switched the front rim to a Mavic Open pro I had laying around, & swapped out the 25mm, for 28mm Armadillos(my commute is pretty rough).
I was surprised to see the 28mm's actually cleared, not clearance issues whatsoever.

She may not be the lightest, but I think she's pretty and a blast to ride. Custom made while I was living in Italy 2001. Veloce and Mirage parts, triple, but new wheels, bar, stem, and saddle this year. What color tires should I go with next? Blue? Yellow? Blue front yellow rear? White? Thinking regular old black is too dull for all this Italian bling.

Not sure about the silver in the saddle, but it was a gift from my sister, so I wanna make it work, I loved the red frame, so I swapped the sora, for a full 105 group set.

Nice! I have an Allez Elite on order, hope it comes in soon. Nice to see another 2013 in someone's hands, gives hope it won't take much longer.
