1979 Bianchi Rampilonga
1979 Bianchi Rampilonga
Italian survivor
Got the bike from a friend for free. Several parts were missing and I replaced them with further leftover parts. Can You spot them? First I intended to restore the bike but now I love the shabby survivor look.
The bike is a real lightweight, but it rides as it looks like, -don't ask.

"New" seat,-yes.
GT pedals from a DYNO and a one-piece crankset from a rotten cruiser with a giant chainwheel.
But the handlebars are original, very light and pretty cool.
The old tires fell off the rims, so I took cheap Kendas for 6 Bucks.
Thats all it took. Makes me smile.
