I have a mid 80s Bianchi Professional (with Ishiwata 220 tubing) and I was looking at what it would take to moderize this frame. I have some questions that I have with doing this.
I have 1" of clearance over the TT is that enough? Also the current setup (stem and handlebars) are a bit long. I need to shorten it by 1.5" (was thinking the only way would be the stem).
I plan on cold setting the frame and then squaring up the rear dropouts so it will work with new 10sp stuff.
Being somewhat heavier(220) I am going to build my own wheels. I have a clark kent front hub that I want to use on something.
Also the big question.
I have worked as a wrench for a year in a shop and was exposed to SRAM and Campy stuff but never got to ride any. What do you guys like?
