uuummm bumps, were the brakes going from 27's to 700's I had to order some special extra long reach brakes, they are tektro 800 A's they had the proper bolt patern for the older frame... not a recessed bolt like the newer frames take. The brakes were $18.00 online. I had to find a clamp on FD but that will be swapped soon with a clampon braze-on so I can attach my campi FD the rear had to be spread a tad, but not so bad that I had to get it cold set. The cables were shorter as well since I went to a signifigantly smaller frame size. uuuummmmm Mntwkr help me out here what have I forgotten?

oh I had to find some screws that were the right size they were scrounged up at the old bike shop downtown they had them in the extra bin in the back.

I bought the brakes the seat post and bar tape... I think that is all I had to purchase the rest was either from the bianchi or mtnwkr had them in his pile-o-stuff. oh and I will be trading out the tires soon... the celeste just don't match...

Again thank- you mtnwkr and east hill
