Bianchi'd Again!

[Gravity Aided]

I found this at my local co-op, another cycle looking for an owner. Nobody has wanted to tackle this, as it would soak up more time than it was worth, in many peoples esteem. It's not especially Italian, it's a hybrid, and the gruppo is just SRAM 3.0 mix. Broken shifters and rusty cables round out the attractiveness . But there are good things to this bicycle. The frame has curved seat stays for a supple ride . This particular years' model is not made of aluminum, but rather butted Cr-Mo. And the long wheelbase lends it to being a nice upright tourer or doitall bike. 700C and 21 speeds. Sturdy wheels. It does need a new chain, new shifters, and a systems rebuild/refurbish for hubs,brakes, BB, headset.

P.S.- I stuck it in the avenue out front of my house for the picture. Well, actually, it's classified as a lane.

That will make a very nice bike. I look forward to seeing the finished product! 😁

I don't even think it is on the chainrings.

If the original shifters are borked, maybe upgrade to trigger shifters?

That's my plan. Being a stereotypical Midwesterner, I favor practicality over style every time.

Good find, that’s my sort of thing!
