Haven't I posted mine enough in this forum?
I've gotta take some new pictures, the bike has changed a lot.

I just want to let you know I'm italian, and if I was a man you'd be getting a link of me in bike shorts with a bulge. Just saying *snickers* Be glad I'm not a man.

55/Rad, I wish I lived closer to you, so that you could take some pictures of my Merckx once it is built. You do a great job with the pictures! Sadly (for me), I'm in PA!

the aero levers are Modolo,but the brake set-up is all wrong on it,being a 82 it should be non-aero levers,which i have some Campy calipers & levers that i might go with,i might stir up a hornets nest here,but i just don't care for the looks or feel of the Modolo's

Oooh, that Colnago frame is to die for. I think that's also the natural next step once you've already got a celeste Bianchi.
Nice.

Lygie refurbish
I've a 24" Lygie circa 60's I rode across US in 1976. It'd been stripped of it's Campy stuff except cranks, headset and seatpost. I'm forever a fan of Bilenky who artfully refurbished it with S&S, budget mandated Shimano and saved my classic but bent fork. Since then I've ridden it in Florida, France, Spain, California and am planning a trip to her homeland.

Maybe a little heavy by today's standards but then so am I....She has Ruebanesque fender clearance, limousine ride (PMC 165 miles over 2 days and was fresh as a daisy compared to my Raleigh Pro, even better than Bicycling's "Plush bike of the year", Serotta Fierte).]

Pinarello banesto. Campagnolo record 9 speed group set including headset and Ti seatpost, 14cm itm eclypse stem, deda shallow bars (might change for deeper bend bars) Ambrosio excellence rims, sapim spokes, campagnolo record hubs and with veloflex pave tyres (latex tubes), flite saddle with pinarello stiched logo with Ti rails.
this is one very very smooth bike to ride. Sadly in the last few years a lot of the paint work is starting to chip off on or around the logos.
