+1 - "What he said". This thread had me scratching my head early on, but cyclotoine has succinctly stated what I've been thinking..... the bike is too small, and low end. And yet you want to tear apart a running Bianchi to "upgrade" it? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Clean it, replace broken bits, overhaul it, tune it, but other than labor and NECESSARY parts, leave it be. Sell it and use the money to find a better candidate for your attentions. Don't destroy the Bianchi,unless it is already a basket case. And if it is, restore IT to riding condition.....
