What's that post between the rear wheel and the bottom bracket? I'm going to guess it's a mount for a kickstand, and that hole is for a pin to lock it all together.

I too made the plunge into a retro Bianchi about the same time you made the video. A Bianchi Trofeo in chromoly. Early 90s? I love it. I went Deda components and upped the groupset from an 8 speed Mirage to a 9 speed Veloce, Campy Neutrons etc. Surprisingly fast. One thing I discovered with these bikes is when they get to that sweet spot fast cruising speed, they are easy to keep at speed.

I find that PETG is the better material for printing bike parts. It is UV and weather resistant. Doesn't always print as nice and clean as PLA but also doesnt creep. And it is tuff enuf. I even make bike tire levers out of it.

I have a spare swingarm from a 98 small fsr which i could let you have for a modest fee and postage... i will be able to check if it fits ur medium frame first by comparing it to a medium framed fsr i also have (i have one small fsr complete.. one small frame as spares and one medium framed complete) the 99s were identical frames to the 98s they just had different stickers.... so if they kept the same chainstay length for both the medium and small frames you could be in luck..... but it would be a shame to see such a rare version of my fav old bike get sidelined.... let me know if u r interested

Just a head's up to everybody that the chainstays (and seatstays for that matter) were all the same on all sizes - it was just the front triangle that had different sizes. I had a 1998 & just picked up a 1999, and the chainstays were changed in 1999. The 1998 models had bushings at the main pivot, and had a straight non-drive side chainstay & a driveside chainstay (asymmetrical) that dipped down the clear the front derailleur. It did not have the hole through the cross-member, which is where the cracks usually showed up on the 1999's. In 1999, they went to the cartridge bearing main pivot (much smoother & simpler setup), but both sides of the chainstay dipped down (symmetrical), and had the hollowed out crossmember.
