Hi guys and girls

 

I am selling a Bianchi Argentin X4 that's unfortunately too big for me. I would look at a swap for something equally rare or exotic. Here is the link https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/165479-very-rare-bianchi-argentin-x4/

Recently gave this Hansom some TLC but too small for me.http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/17/9b1be8569d3d4378747c2e4fdbd9ca43.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/17/f2f96c08ff88be38daecb1e428bbd170.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/17/321d94746de440427ed6d5196005654d.jpg

 Might be too small for you but looks the right size for me

I'm sorry to steal your thunder Hypernorth.

I have a request for opinions please. My early 90' Pinarello Gavia is running on a set of beat up(read completely klapped) Mavic hoops with period 105 hubs(still lekker). I have a few randellas that I've been putting aside to replace them with something worthy. Is it a terrible disgrace to replace them with 2001/2/3 Mavic Cosmic elites? I like the idea of putting some saxxy fresh shoes on my old girl but the period items kind of make the bike special(to me anyway) I've searched for something to fill the gap in the classifieds but there's nada on here except a set of Rigida'.

 

Any advice/opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Gumtree Eden area, mmmm, I must start looking.

 

Time Trial bike, but the fork has been replaced!

 

Or

 

They left it on the bike rack too long and the sun melted it!

Measure the head tube and let me know. I may have one for you.

Most TT bikes in 90's were made like that. Funny bikes was the term used commonly. Great find. What tubing does it have? Reynolds or Columbus? Both wheels look look the same size.

Cippo- it is Reynolds 531 or 531c. Will see the decal in full on Saturday. Can't wait to collect it! The wheels are the same because it doesn't have the original fork on.

Sancini all built up. Well 95%, still a few things I need and want to change (i.e. Elite bottle cages and black bar tape, aero seat post) but other than that she be ready to go go go go.....

 

Thanks to all the Hubbers who help me with this build, you know who you are.

Is that where all the Dura-Ace parts went to ?

 

Looks absolutely fantastic...well done

Bloody hell mate! Where was the photo taken? Looks like some nice goodies in the background like the EM frame(s), PDM jersey.
