oooooh, '93 Bianchi could be or become a very nice bikeOriginally Posted by Bombshelter
Only about 1/5th of the weight of the bike is the frame. And I'm guessing yours is steel? My Italian steel road bike's hand made for me by the man whose name is on the frame. There are hills and rides I could not do on my cheap old commuter or namesake Trek 420 old road bike however ....
Your bike has the potential to be as good or better than theirs with legs strengthened by doing the same rides on it.
And you have us ahem
Unless your friend is here too. And if they are "BE NICER TO HER! Remember your first ride?"
Does it fit? Yes? Then ....
Hmmmmm. New wheels are the most cost effective improvement to a bike. Takes weight and more important rotational weight (weight you gotta get going to move) off. the right wheels will make your bike more efficient too.
Whatcha got on that sweet steel Bianchi
