New Record 10sp. Works great, the only way I know that a shift change has been executed is by the fact that it either gets harder or easier to pedal. Brooks Swallow, the most comfortable saddle I've ever sat on. Back to sew ups. This bike is not a Litespeed, it is a fact that some of these bikes were made by Litespeed for Bianchi. After conversing with Litespeed it was determined that this was not made by them based on the serial number on the B/B shell. I was wondering if any one knew any more to this story. Did Bianchi make any of these on their own back in around 96'? The only thing left to do is going threadless this winter, keeping the Grammo though, just picked up a threadless one. I think the Grammo is a work of art and it goes with the down tube. Same manufacturing process. I will also be getting the trusty steed painted in the winter.
