Yes I'm a Bike whore I admit it !
Well I have been talking about building me a cyclcross Bike for ever, I got this Bianchi Frame at the lars anderson flea market back in 97 . , the wheels are Shimano 600 Ultegra , that were spare wheels ( and still are ) for my old Road bike ( soon to be come a time trial Bike ) , the rear derailer is a Shimano 600 Ultegra , front deraler is a Suntour Mountech ( a real oldie ) , drive side crank is a Sugino touring triple , Non drive is a non descript Shinao, and hte shifter are Shimano RSX Sti 7 speed , Brakes are Dia-comp Canti's that I got at the Nashbar outlet store many moons ago (its been closed about 10 years now ) . and the Tires are Kenda Kross Supremes 700X35 I got at 24 Hrs of adrenilin at the Kenda Tent for $5 each
so all told over the years I have been gathering parts this really did not cost me much or just using spare left over parts . If I spent $100 on it ( over at least 5 years ) that would be stretching it.
and you know on an STI shifter how they tell you not to to Move the mechinish with out any thing attached , I discovered why , there not kidding its a bad idea !
but you also know how they say its not servaiable ! -- they lie!!
there wern't too many parts left over after i put it all back together and it still works.
