Frame Update
Since this thread has come back to life, I thought I'd post an update on the frame that started it all a year and a half ago. Since then I've been accumulating parts and have almost finished the build. The 87 SL came with an odd variety of parts so I scrapped the idea of building a faithful recreation and instead have built it largely with Campy NR/SR (brakes, levers, crank, derailleurs, pedals (not pictured)), 1970s vintage Record High Flange hubs, some period correct pieces (Cinelli 66-44 bars, Bianchi labelled saddle) and some odds and ends I happened to have (90s Chorus seatpost, knock-off Campy hoods). I've been hunting for some Ambroisio Elite rims to replace the present Arayas. One really "off" item is the Technomic stem. I plan to ride her in a century this fall and needed the extra bar height to be able to survive it without crippling my back. Her maiden voyage awaits an overhaul of the Regina freewheel.
As you can tell from the celeste and blue water bottle cages, I'm in the midst of a debate over whether to trim the cages, bar tape and cables in blue or celeste. My prior Bianchis have all been all blue in those areas but I'm leaning toward blue cables and cages with celeste tape. I'll likely let me daughter make the final call, but if anyone wants to offer their opinion, I'm all ears.
