Correct the seatpost should be PMP.<br /><br />Anonymous, As shown in the original photo I do have the correct stem. In fact I have removed the stem and bars and returned the Big One and original bars to my build. Good Luck on your build! Yes the new ahead stems are easier to replace. biciakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00659423813175282484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630166576559294865.post-56128198674077055932013-12-22T07:26:35.077-06:002013-12-22T07:26:35.077-06:00Just bought another complete bianchi
(5th in the c...Just bought another complete bianchi<br />(5th in the collection) Why? Because it carries the original ITM Big One stem, even your briljant replica doesn't have. It wil take some doing to transplant it to my Pantani look-a-like machine. The handlebar has to be (at least half) naked to be fitted through the stem. Later models, like yours open with two screws at the front, which makes this a lot easier. Think I will change to a downtube shifter as well, on the left side. If I can find one that looks the part, as yours does.

In the Tour de France of the same year the large 1 (Mercatone Uno) should be Bianchi's celeste green.<br />How did you install that downtube shifter, just drill a hole ? Takes the skill of the better mechanic I guess. Great Job that.<br />Eriknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630166576559294865.post-11973751978024175192013-07-31T00:13:06.700-05:002013-07-31T00:13:06.700-05:00You saddle is not good(1997)

It is called an "Open Tubular" but it is a normal clincher.<br />https://tinyurl.com/k5g6wyw<br /><br />Pantani's, of course, were real tubulars.<br />biciakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00659423813175282484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630166576559294865.post-74697257110382208412013-07-21T08:06:51.063-05:002013-07-21T08:06:51.063-05:00Very nice, ¿ Which tyres did you mount?Very nice, ¿ Which tyres did you mount?Antoniohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14080260003911646422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630166576559294865.post-70277741502327916402013-05-09T20:59:07.338-05:002013-05-09T20:59:07.338-05:00This is a very cool bicycle.
