Low-cost Di2 upgrade

[DSK]

Since selling my Trek Alpha 2.3, I want another Alumium bike in the stable.

Whilst the Nirone is looked down upon, largely to its poverty spec groupset, I believe the frame is supposed to be a bit of a peach. I may have to go down the frameset option as finding one in 59cm and unmarked condition may not be easy. But it was this thread I recalled and thought, hmmm, Nirone + Di2 = winner ad a do it machine.

I have a few brand new bits in the man cave, Bontrager Aero Alloy bars, Campag and ProLite wheel sets so should be able to cobble something reasonable together.

Sounds like an excellent idea - The Via Nirone 7 is one of the most successful Bianchi models ever for exactly the reason you state - the frame is indeed a bit of a peach Lots of different paint jobs over the years to choose from too if you're buying second hand

Excellent work as usual. I loved my Via Nirone bike - I was gutted to be propelled from it by an idiot in a Corsa and have the frame written off.
