This is a 2005 chrome Bianchi Pista that I bought recently. PO had converted it to a threadless quill system. I upgraded the stem to a Nitto technomic and put on the Nitto noodle bars. More things to come for this chrome beauty as I want to make it look super classic.

That stem looks awkwardly long IMO

The technomics are meant to be long. I agree it looks a little weird, but it's super comfortable. Might switch it out for a Nitto dynamic if the looks start to bother me.
