Thanks, Bianchigirl. I am pretty partial to Bianchis, as well.

My Capo Modell Campagnolo was built in 1959 in Vienna, Austria from British tubing and Italian lugs, with Campagnolo hubs, derailleurs, and shifters. The shifters and brakeset are original. The color scheme is almost historically accurate, with CyclArt's gorgeous stock metallic almost candy burgundy red replacing the original candy apple.
