The Bianchi Project - Stripped Down Bianchi

Alrighty then...back to the Bianchi.

So, this is how it looks striped of all unnecessary parts.





At this stage, the chain, cables, shifters, front and rear deraillure, and the 53T chain ring were removed.


It wasn't until things start breaking off that I finally realized that the shifter mount doesn't come off.

Looks like I need spacers after removing the chain ring.

Then my plans fell apart when I try to remove the sprockets. No chain whips made this century can remove this thing. So I took it to Mike the Bike for some help. Mike can do it, he's our man. If he can't do it, no one can. ...well...it turned out, he can't. Gosh darn it!
