Thanks! I'm rebuilding it with mustache bars and an 8-speed 105 group now. All I need is a new chain, and then eventually fenders and racks, and then it's done!

SillyGooseCookie says:

you could totally put cruiser bars on your Bianchi! I just checked with my caliper and the Wald 867's have a 25.4 clamp. and there are 25.4 threadless stems out there, Velo Orange makes a really nice polished one http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/...

I would like to build something with just chrome parts and use that stem it looks sweet.

SillyGooseCookie says:

that'd be really cool, throw some high-polish H+Sons on there. TB14's would look nice

PandaBear says:

not a bad idea lol... But I just want to start a new project and swap my SRAM Omniums onto a new build since I do want to use chrome parts.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NJS-KEIRIN-Giro... it looks like it needs some work, but this is pretty cool, and I think it's in your size

SillyGooseCookie says:

if you got it stripped and repainted, then it would make a very nice steel track frame, and it's NJS-stamped!

PandaBear says:

Thats exactly what I have in mind something like those beautiful NJS frames. Its actually not to expensive compared to other NJS frames on ebay that go for way more.
