Ghost Rider's 1983 Bianchi Road Bike
My all-time favorite bike…purchased new at the Bianchi factory store in Milano, Italy way back in 1983 (using money from my first job).
Campagnolo shifters and derailleurs, Ofmega crankset, BB and headset, Gipiemme Super-Corsa brakes. Currently, I am running Matrix rims on Maillard “Helicomatic” hubs, but am in the process of building Velocity Aerohead/Aerohead OC rims onto a pair of vintage Campagnolo Record hubs (with Regina gold freewheel and chain).

What can I say? I had wanted a nice bike for a long time, and I had the opportunity (and the cash) to do it while I was on vacation. My parents freaked when I returned to the hotel with a brand-new bike, though!!!

Found it! Moe was telling me tall tales about this bicycle. What a glorious piece of bicycle! Good GAWD!
