Restore!

Submitted by Harrison.z on 04/01/2011.

I am trying to start restoring a bike just like this! It has a columbus SLX frame, but I am not sure what model it is, I think it is this exact one. What kind of components did you use? I need some informational help before I can begin this project

I'm no expert on these, but have learned that they were mid/high-end frames at the time that utilized Chorus components and Ambrosio wheels like mine. Check out this old 1990 Bianchi catalog:

Shifter cables under tape.

Shifter cables under tape. No shifting problems? Thought about converting my Trek to integrated shifters.

campy is designed to route under the bartape. Shimano only recently made this switch.
