Finally got done restoring the bike a ferw weeks ago. PastorBob had a sneak peak at it, and now im showing it to the rest of the forum. Bike is a 1984 Bianchi Nuovo Racing that I picked up on CL last November. Let me know what you think.

As Purchased: Bike was original down to tubes and tires.




Finished Product:











Bike is casually for trade/sale in passing conversation with people. I ended up putting about $375 into the whole thing which included the bike itself, new tires, tubes, spokes to relace the wheels, tape, cables, pads, chain, Brooks(!!!), etc. Rides nice, but being a bigger guy, the bike flexes like crazy when I get on it. SO while I appreciate the bike as a piece of art, I dont see it becoming a regualr rider unless I drop alot of weight.
