it is a Bianchi and Bianchi-colored = more likely to get stolen.
you are worried about scratching it = unsuited for commuting
use some of the $$ to rebuild the 520. maybe spring for fresh drivetrain & wheel rebuild.
my 2 cents, lemme know if yuo want change
That's what I like. Someone that's solid in their convictions.
I see what you're saying. I do worry about the Bianchi when it's locked up outside, but I don't at all when it's the 520. I do think I like the 520 a little better as it's a little easier to do things. i.e. more eyelets, quill stem so I can adjust the height easier. It is pretty ugly, so if it did fall over, I'd be more worried about what it fell on than the bike itself.
It probably wouldn't need much to get it in perfect condition. By drivetrain, do you mean cassette? I was thinking of replacing the bottom bracket, wheel bearings and cassette. Think of anything else I should look to replace?
Thanks for your 2 cents...
