Winter Build...Bianchi L'UNA
I am in the process of building a few bikes right now, but my Bianchi is what I want to finish first. Any one else have any cool projects?

Thanks mzeffex! Yeah I ran across the seat on eBay. Couldn't find any pics or info on it online anywhere. You can't see from the picture, but it has a silver stripe down the center of it...looks pretty sweet plus probably won't see another one like it.

Nice frame. I remember wanting one back in '04. My only winter projects are the usual tear downs and rebuilds.

Pretty! My suggestions would be Celeste bar tape and a white carbon seatpost. Love the bright rims and green tires against the white frame!

my vote is the carbon post you have to match the chorus cranks, black tape for the same reason, and Celeste hoods if they exist (if they dont they should...)

3T Bar and Stem but those might get swapped to ensure fitting.
I have the Race Face SRX and a FSA Titanium Pro BB not sure which to go with, as well I have the FSA Superlights and the Gossamer crank sets , going with the SL's initially and if I run into any trouble with them I'll switch.
Basically need a post and a seat, might get celeste tape and saddle.
That Luna is a sexy frame.

Always loved the L'una. Have no idea how it rides, but I loved the "ghost" look. Just finished up my Helium. It's over in the 33 race rig thread.

Hi,
I've always wanted a L'UNA. I think the "white" carbon looks cool.
My winter project is done:

I'm still working on my winter project. I'm lacing my new wheels and swapping my brake pads with new ones, that's about it 
Obviously, when spring enters the country, I'm swapping my greasy, messy bar tape with carbon look black bar tape. Just because it looks like pr0n.

I will definitely post some pics when it is done. got the celeste bar tape already, probably going to do the Campy Chorus seat post to match the other Campy Chorus stuff.

i have the previous generation record seatpost (identical to the current chorus) and it leaves a little to be desired. the single bolt clamp does not allow for infinite angle adjustments and doesnt feel as secure as a double bolt setup.
with that said, the chorus post is very attractive and the seatpost clamp that comes with it is very nice (i would buy one even if you dont buy the post)
