Vintage Bianchi Road Bike Restoration Build and Ride

[@rogerwatt8491]

One of your very best builds, Andy! Beautiful. Nothing like a Bianchi with that history, that colour and that groupset . . . who cares if Deltas don't stop you so well? They look fantastic. My only very slight disappointments are that you didn't stay with the Celeste green saddle and bar tape . . . and the chromed front forks. Whatever, I can totally understand why you're keeping this one, Andy . . . it's stunning and I hope you have many happy hours on it!

[@BikeItUK]

Glad you enjoyed it thank you for watching its much appreciated. Take care, all the best

[@dinodaniel2237]

Agree one of your best builds

[@johnandrews3568]

Delta brakes were never designed to 'stop' you... they're a racing brake designed to shave off speed. But set up correctly, they work great. I had a set for over 20 years and never an issue to stop. Most ppl don't know how to get them just right. Currently riding a celeste XR1... awesome bike! #celesteisbest

[@pumelo1]

The road bikes of the turn of the 80s and 90s are the best and most beautiful

[@BikeItUK]

Completely agree happy cycling pal

[@gianpierobarone7905]

Before was a cheap Bianchi now is a Bianchi thanks for your care . Italian job🤗

[@BikeItUK]

Much appreciated 🙏

[@nathanmontover1436]

My favorite so far! Takes me back to mid 80s and a Iowa kid dreaming about an Italian bike I knew I’d never have. Maybe now is the time

[@BikeItUK]

Glad you liked it hope it brought back some great memories all the best

[@roygardiner2229]

To be honest the bike looked great at the outset. Admirable Italian elegance. I once rode a Bianchi bike across a parking lot here in the USA, just to see how it went. I was gobsmacked at how fast it felt!

[@barryfox2711]

The best one ever. You are the owner of a very beautiful bike!

[@BikeItUK]

Couldn't agree more! Thank you for tuning in and watching

[@johnflynn4923]

Don't blame you for keeping this one for yourself, as good as any modern bike but oozes class and timeless looks from when people and not machines built bikes.

I got a Bianchi that was old when I bought it and got it working. I didn't realize how lucky I was to pay what I did for it. I've owned it now for 15 years and I've just decided to start getting it a bit more up to date. Great video and you can see the passion you have.

Andy, what a Bobby dazzler this one is! I was truly pulling for you so you'd be able to save the original paint, but when T Cut fails, then there is no other option but to contact Mark the paint wizard. I was lucky to find a 1982 Bianchi Nuovo Racing with a well preserved original celeste paint. A very respectful salute from Texas. Cheers!

[@jerryavalos9610]

As you say Andy, "Brilliant!" That Bianchi is beautiful, it definitely is my favorite Italian bicycle, Colnago comes in second. Love the Bianchi color, proud to say I have 3, one of which is a Bianchi Reparto Corse TSX tubing. I have Delta brakes in a box, they are nice looking, however braking is not my favorite and switched them out for the reliable and positive C-Record calipers.

[@BikeItUK]

[@ShawnStradamus520]

Beautiful restoration. I’m a big fan of these classic frames with a special affinity for Bianchi, and your passion for this project is contagious. So thank you so much for sharing! I must say that it hurts my eyes to see the frame clamped that way though. I always clamp my bicycles by the seat post to avoid any potential damage to the frame. Cheers!

[@BikeItUK]

Thanks for watching glad you enjoy the channel. If the camera isn’t rolling I generally clamp from the seat tube. It’s loose and just raises the bike for the camera 👍

Totally agree on the resto build thing! Did exactly that with my 1988 custom Colmbus SL frame which npw has Campagnolo 11 speed Centaur groupset…despite being 34 years old is such a smooth and silent ride. If you know….you know!

[@lifelong5425]

Haven't watched for a while mate...then this popped up...My all time dream, Bianchi bikes. I got myself a white Bianchi Strada some time back, it had a stuck seat post, but fitted me......did it up...not as much as you though, and sold it on to a guy who fitted it like me, so the saddle height mattered not....it looked amazing when done. This one you just did....Bellissimo, Truly a reworked and stunning job....

[@lesliereissner4711]

This is a beautiful build! Once again, MR did a really amazing job with the paintwork and your component selection is choice. I have a 1990 Bianchi Limited (Colombus Cromor, Shimano 105 7-speed SIS) that I bought new. Originally white, I had it refinished in December in the correct celeste...and kept the matching saddle and handlebar tape on! When I stopped on a ride last week a passing jogger pointed at the bicycle and shouted out: "That's beautiful!" And they are, so I wish you much joy with yours, Andy.

[@BikeItUK]

Mate, that’s great thanks for sharing your personal experience. I’m very happy with it and yes I’ll definitely be getting out on it again. Thanks for watching and your support it’s appreciated 👍

[@billkallas1762]

Really nice looking Bianchi. I have a 1995 Racing Department TSX UL, with the Super Set of tubing (downtube ovalized at the bottom bracket) Back then, I built the frameset up with an 8 speed Chorus drivetrain, except with an older Super Record front derailleur (with the black links). I never cared for Campy brake calipers because they lacked the fine tuning, when you used different wheels with different rims. I Committed heresy by using 7403 dual pivot Dura Ace calipers......I raced on it for 5 years before setting it aside for something new. A few years ago, I pulled it out and threw on some 9 speed Dura Ace 7700 components. I left on the Super Record front changer because it worked well with the indexed Shimano left shifter. It's my Sunday bike now. PS. I have a couple of those cages, but I found that water bottles will eventually wear the paint off of that Aluminum tubing. I replaced them with the same brand, with the same buttons, but in stainless steel.....PSS. I've always had trouble with breaking the rails on Rolls saddles, after 4 years. I've broken three of them, over the years. I now use the old S.I. Flite (1990 style) My frame is a 59, with a 14cm ITM Eclipse stem, with ITM 260 42cm bars.

[@jamesdelgado2009]

Awesome, another great build, well done! Not a big fan of the Delta brakes, more show than go, or should I say stop but not a deal breaker. On all of my rebuilds, especially repaints, I apply PPF - paint protection film. I do a complete underside of the down tube, complete fork blades, and complete chainstays. This protects from the normal wear and tear of small chips and is easy and cheap protection.

[@BikeItUK]

I have that exact stem and although I think its so good looking and stiff for a quill stem, that top cap cracks so easy screwing it in to the little insert, not to mention just pulling the screw out will just strip the insert and then you have to use pliers, THEN you can get to the stem bolt.
