I'm glad it was just the one frame, and not _two_ Bianchi frames within the span of a few months.Granadacasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06242003909545275418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11662550.post-30934171141954722342008-07-16T17:00:00.000-04:002008-07-16T17:00:00.000-04:00Opps. I didn't realize it was an exerpt.<BR/><BR/> Well, I supose the "organ donor" type use of the componants softens the blow... if only a touch.Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14827840284725195692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11662550.post-762314108287847802008-07-15T18:06:00.000-04:002008-07-15T18:06:00.000-04:00This happened back on March 15th (there's a little post about it). Sorry to make it sound current. The piece just got published which is why I'm posting it now (The Ride wanted me to wait till after the magazine was out).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, Andres just happened to have a similarly sized used steel frame laying about. So he transfered all the parts over. And had new used brake shifters to replace my failing shifters. <BR/><BR/>But my bike is now not as pretty. The frame isn't Bianchi Celeste green. Nor is she lugged. But she does ride very well.PCMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13647097472236933108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11662550.post-67335743092310902722008-07-15T15:54:00.000-04:002008-07-15T15:54:00.000-04:00What's the verdict?
