• Hello everyone, I hope you are well :) Federico here from Epping.
    Last year in June I purchased a used Bianchi Via Nirone 7. After few months a new bike arrived, another Bianchi (Oltre XR2) which I put together starting from just the frame. This project is going to migrate the Campagnolo Potenza that I have on the XR2 to the Nirone 7. I've started stripping off the current groupset which is a mix of 105/Ultegra parts.
    I've managed to remove all the Shimano parts today, replaced the bottom bracket with an ultra torque campagnolo BB and also I've replaced the headset bearings. Removed the old caged bearing and changed with what I found on the Bianchi tech spec: ZS-4D from FSA at the bottom of the headset and MH121 at the top (it was a different one but the 121 fit and I had spares).

    Next step would be stripping the Potenza from the XR2 and install it on the Nirone!
