I was a mechanic at Bicycles West on Speedway BLVD in the 80's in Tucson AZ. The. best memories from that time was assembling the high end Bianchis. I recall building a Campione Del Mondo with all Super Record Pantograph, and stitched leather on the bars. This video is like a time machine for me. Love it so much!
Ein wirklich wunderschönes Rad mit tollen Komponenten zu einem Gesamtkunstwerk komplettiert. Sehr gut wird auch die Montage der Delta-Bremsen gezeigt. Eine Kleinigkeit stört mich allerdings, der Columbus Aelle Aufkleber. Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, das der Rahmen aus diesen, in den 80er Jahren günstigsten Rohren von Columbus hergestellt wurde. Zum Vergleich : ein Aelle-Rahmen kostete ca. 400-450 DM. Die Campagnolo Delta-Bremsen 600,- DM. Aber Schluß mit Gemecker, das Ergebnis spricht für sich.
Lovely brakes to look at I have them on my PDM Concorde - but as Sean Kelly says they were utterly useless to modulate and a faff to set up - but boy they look good !
@@paulthorpe766 Exactly. Campagnolo gave up producing them, because they could not afford to hire the many watchmakers needed to service them. Not to mention that the big dust cap alone used as much aluminium as a whole decent caliper brake😉.
You mean you want a lower end model from 79 given a weird 60s paint and chrome job then put late 80s parts on it. The video poster forgot to tell you that, LOL!

ciao sono lorenzo , un appassionato di bici d'epoca , ho un negozio di bici e eseguo restauri . ti devo fare tantissimi complimenti per la cura dei dettagli e la qualità del montaggio della bici . Ps. questa Bianchi Campione del mondo è bellissima !
I love it. I still have one of those first-generation C-Record rear Derailleurs (friction). I had it on my 1995 TSX UL frame (Celeste, of course) I then switched over to 8 speed Chorus, Ergo. I still ride it occasionally.
you saw that too. Actually its a lower end model from 79 given a weird 60s paint and chrome job then put late 80s parts on it. The video poster doesn't mention that.

I think , if I remember correctly, that the owner considered the eventual swap to hoods that would allow brake cables to run along the handlebars so I kept the housing long enough to do that eventual transformation. Thanks for watching
LOL! the video poster doesn't tell you that it is actually its a lower end model from 79 given a weird 60s paint and chrome job then put late 80s parts on it.
At 13' that is 4 Bianchis an hour this guy can build. But then the shop looks as immaculate as a vintage champion's bike fully restored. Forget the bike, I want that shop!
Beautiful frame, lovely components. Love the chrome and the polished aluminium. Yet, I have to admit that even though I hate today's trend of total integration, brake cables running under the bar tape and inside the top tube do make a bike look clean and fast. These ancient loops of "washing line" cables look weird and destracting (imo!).
Stunning frame; like a 30's Folgore. Persnickety perfectionist would not put Delta brakes, Syncro shifters and C-record groupset--all later 80's--on this earlier frame. And what's that FD? Ah well ...
You caught that as well? Actually its a lower end model from 79 given a weird 60s paint and chrome job then put late 80s parts on it. The video poster doesn't mention that.
Hi! Thanks for watching. I would have to ask the customer about the specifics. While I was doing research before assembling the bike, I discovered many campagnolo and classic italian reference websites that had lists and methods to recognize different year/models. Unfortunately I can’t remember from the top of my head right now. Have a great day! 🙏🏼
@@heptsu2883 Thank you for the reply. Mine was resprayed black and with gold splatter and was just a mess. There was red overspray inside the seat tube, top tube and on the fork tube so I had it stripped and powder coated. The components were a mix of Campagnolo and Gieppeme with victory dt shifters, Athena rear derailleur and I think the same on the front. The brakes were shimano if I remember correctly. I've tried to keep it period correct but I'm too practical to just hang it on the wall so i have it built to fit, function and be fun to ride. My biggest question is the type of tubing, everthing was painted over when i got it so I just don't know. It weighed 2110 gms when painted black and gold. The bike is a joy to ride and I only take it out on dry days. I'm much closer to identifying it with your help. I had guessed late 70's to early 80's. Your reply helps. I'm positive its not the same but probably the same era as yours. The bike in the video is absolutely beautiful.
@@heptsu2883 Not sure its an 81. if it was, then it would have the cable routing running beneath the BB shell, unless for some reason that was broken off. Looks like you put a lot of money into a lower end model from 79 gave it a weird 60s paint and chrome job then put late 80s parts on it. The video poster doesn't mention that.
Could you help me identify the bianchi model? I found a bike, but I can't figure out what model it is, or if it's original. If yes, where can I send a photo?
Disagree - if you do from the top to bottom you get edge ridges outwards to hoods that help keep your hands on bars when wet and slippery - how we did it it 80s tbh
@@paulthorpe766 Yes. Exactly. And, you beneficially omit the %$#@ing tape wrap at the top. Much cleaner. Aesthetic, too! Fact is, and you and I know it......, there is no "correct" method. He needs a new tampon.

Perhaps. I assemble the bikes. I do not pick parts for customers or comment on their choices, especially in these times where everything is hard to find. Plus, being in Canada, finding old campagnolo vintage parts is really difficult. If this makes the customer happy, then I have no right to judge their choices. Thanks for watching :)

@@CJ-6993 hey thanks for watching!
Love that you kept with the Down tube shifters.
I think I may have had an out of body experience watching this build. This isn't a bike, it's a work of art.
Thanks! I hope my others videos bring you that same experience.
I will always cherrish that feel of riding a classic bicycle.
Wednesday I pick up a 82 atala campione del mondo I got for a steal. Can't wait to tear into it... lol
I appreciate how deliberate and patient your work is. You’re hired.😊
Best meditation video I have ever watched. That was magic for my soul.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Take a look at my other build videos if you have the time. Have a great day 🙏🏼

I would have added grease to the internals of the brake since it was open, as well as the crank spindle.

What an absolute work of art. Fantastic !!
Absolutely gorgeous , I’ve never seen delta brakes dismantled before .
❤❤ it's very good.. techniques..
Für mich dass schönste Bianchi auf diesem Planeten ❤
Italian style. Top frame, great groupset... Tradition and race history!!!

Model from '79? You better learn something about '60, '70 and '80 s steel frames. Expecially Bianchi frames.

Pratiquement du ASMR. What a build!!!!!!
Oh my God, that is the most beautiful thing I have seen in a long time. Thank you for this.

Amazing. I would have used a brown Rolls saddle. Keep it 100% Italian, but that's just my opinion. Beautiful build!

These brakes must have been engineered by NASA !!
Even Nasa would have made them less complicated. They look sensational from the outside but it takes a watchmaker's skill to adjust and service them.
@@einundsiebenziger5488 Was there any performance benefit to this design? So complicated.

Have you got any issues? I saw that steering set (lower crown) was against front brake body. Steering has ruined it?
There is an added spacer. It seems like its close, but there is not contact between both components.

Columbus Aelle instead of Columbus SL ?
only fork and rear triangle are Aelle, main triangle is SL
You need one more link taking out of chain
Gott beschütze Dich Andreas dass Du diese wunderschöne italienische Dame NICHT mit Shimano Teile aufgebaut hast...
I was mandated by the owner to assemble it. All the credit for choosing parts goes to him!
Danke, dass du mein Video gesehen hast!

You shoulda got green cables
I want one

Thats a rekord 74. Not campione del mondo.
