• OTS Update: theEgoist’s Bianchi Specialissima

    theEgoist has provided us this update of his beautimous Bianchi Specialissima. Just as Specialissima as before, but now adorn in Brooks, Etsy and one-hell-of-a bell—oh yeah, and some hubs made by some guy named “Phil”.


    Year: Early 60s? Make: Bianchi Model: Specialissima? I sent you sometime ago some not so great photos of my Bianchi. Here are some new nice ones, the Bianchi itself has some new parts. Picked up a vintage Phil Wood wheelset for $50. $100 Panniers from Etsy.com. New bell, new red bar tape, cable housing and toe straps. Still riding it, almost everyday.

    Thanks Egoist
