My '87 Bianchi Columbus SL frame came to me with a very nice Gary Cole repaint. I felt no obligation to stick with period parts. I used modern Veloce brake calipers, Veloce 10 speed crankset and rear derailleur. Front derailleur is 10 speed Centaur. Brake levers are Tektro, stem is Nitto Technomic, handlebar is Nitto B115, friction shifters and seatpost are '80's Campy, Saddle is TFI made in Italy. Bottle cages are Blackburn stainless. Wheels and cassette are 9 speed.

All I wanted was to retain friction shifting and maintain the look and feel of an '80's bike, which I think I did.
