Re:

Okey dokey…. I'll stick my hat in the ring. This is this summer's project: a Bianchi Specialissima X4. I may get her out in the sun for a better picture later.


One of the very last great steel frames out of the Reparto Corse department at Bianchi. Built up with Campag and Ive riden a couple of retro events on it. This one is a keeper

I do like a bit of Celeste green

Is that some Campagnolo anniversary stuff I spy?

Ha it is indeed. Its complete and matching but missing one pedal dust cap. It took some cleaning up and still could be improved - a work in progress!
 
I'd like to put forward my Team Replica Raleigh 753 Banana. This is near as dam it a 100% replica of the 1988 team bikes. Correct frame which has been bare metal restored and then fully painted ..... That's no decals apart form the Reynolds ones. Its all paint. 100% period nos parts from the 7402 groupset to the benotto yellow tape.
Even had an original saddle recovered and custom made water transfers for the wording......
