Struck a deal for these
Rare
Just need a nice deep clean and some buffing up
Shame only one shifter and no headset

Thats a nice haul - is it for the Amelio Bianchi?

It is. I can’t wait to see. I’ll likely change the rims and freewheel - some FiR Nettuno rims would be nice. I’ve also struck a deal for a set of silver Cantis as well - so it’ll be a decision to make whether to fit black or silver Cantis.
Just need a headset - and to choose some appropriate tyres

Looking forward to seeing this! I'm still deliberating on the Moser... although the Simoncini is going to be Campy I think. Challenge is both are top pull FD's and (AFAIK) Campy only made bottom pull FDs . Oh well, it's a nice problem to have!

Likely make a start when I return from abroad in mid December
The California blue Bianchi Nth will be first to be dealt with
That should be easy as it’s almost complete - just a set of black XT hubbed wheels required and a WR seat post

What year is this FiR kit from... I'll admit, it's only relatively recently I became aware that they made anything other than rims!..

I guess you'll have seen these on eBay or are you looking for black rims?

I’ve seen those
Either silver or black would do but I do think the black ones are more attractive
The group is 1989. The frame is 1990 so pretty good match

I'll keep an eye out on my travels....
