request for info on this Bianchi (also asked in "Saved from the dump")
I've already posted about this in the "Saved from the dump", but I thought I'd ask here as well, since there may be different readers here.
Sorry if this is considered cross-posting.
I pulled a Bianchi out of the trash yesterday. It's got Modolo "Mach 1" brakes, Stronglight cranks, Ambrosio "Elite" rims and Campy deraileurs and downtube shifters.
The RD is missing its pivot bolt, and I'm guessing that's toast. The rest looks okay. The forks have a Columbus sticker, but there's no such Columbus on the main triangle, just a "Made in Italy" sticker.
Can anyone tell me anything about this bike. I'm especially curious about the frame: what's it made of? Why no tubing sticker?
And the RD shift lever is a Campy with what seems to be a sort of ratchet indexing system. Will I be able to find a RD that's compatible, assuming I can't fix the RD that's hanging off it now?
