I bought this lo pro from the forum early this year without too much thought. I just knew I wanted a lo pro in my size. Rode it around a bit, didn't change much, just shortened the handlebars and tweaked some stuff.
It's not a Bianchi, started as a geared TT bike and at some point the rear triangle was misaligned. The previous owner got Jake Rusby of Rusby Cycles to re-align it, remove the down-tube bosses, front braze-on hanger, gear cable holders and bottle bosses. He also changed the dropouts. Armourtex powder coated it. My guess is the frame's English and the forks are Japanese, but I don't know.
Now i'd like to give it some attention, not sure where to start or what to do but here are some thoughts in no particular order, some contradictory, some i'll defo do, some probably not.
