Shaking down the drivetrain of my 1x9 Bianchi city bike build-in-progress. Friction shifting nine cogs 12-34 seems to work just OK so far; a bit ghosty on the bigger cogs which is PITA when you're grinding up the kind of hill I geared it for. Next I'm going to pull the Campagnolo Rally RD (looks great!) and swap in the much more modern 105 RD I just got from @
Spoonrobot. Fenders go on this weekend and I'm fiddling with custom fitting a chainguard from an old Murray or something, while also digging through my big box o' cranksets to get something with a bit more space between the arm and ring, to accommodate said chain guard. Ultimate plan is all that plus possible integrated rack brazed on, plus celeste powder coat with white painted panels and custom old-timey looking Bianchi decals.

Looking for an indexed 9-speed barcon if anyone wants to throw one at me
Also fixing my first flat of the year! Reminds me of why I like aero levers, even on older bikes.
