Nice Alfana turned Virata. they shared the same frame but the Alfana came with 105 the Virata with 600.

the stem looks perfect with the seatpost. who cares what it weighs. the only thing that would make the bike better is some campagnolo veloce 10spd in silver.

I like that Alfana. Those brifters make me quiver a bit. DT or Veloce silver. Normally I don't care for threadless on non MAX bikes but it works well on yours.

Y'all are making me feel bad about having 600/DA on my '96 EL/OS (thanks tmh657, this is a hell of a bike)! Campy....one day. Also, pictures one day. Gotta borrow a camera.

And my collection of Bianchis stands currently at 6. the pictured one, an SBX built up C-record bicycle from early 90s that i raced with. A 97 Bianchi Alloro. A 92 Bianchi Project 5 bicycle that was my father's bike, he passed in 09 and i am still rocking that cross off road! And i have the last year made cro-mo cross bike, with the curved chainstays and lugged...and last is a Bianchi, i believe it is a Milano cross bike that my dad had. I have it built up with wooden fenders and it is a coffee cruiser type bike.
love my Bianchis! Love this Thread!

More Bianchi goodies...I added many various Bianchi photos to my photobucket album.
https://s1105.photobucket.com/albums/...%20collection/
My 1992 Bianchi Project 5
My Bianchi Alloro, correction. This is my SBX with my Zonda rims. My alloro might be at the end of that line...Please note in this photo. The true biker...bikes cost far more than my Ford Escort!
