1977 Bianchi build! We assemble the entire bike.
Music by Bensound.
This is a new old stock Bianchi Specialissima. I build it with an array of NOS components and a few that arent. This is not a restoration but a build. There was nothing to restore. This is a rare bike to have in this condition. So proud to be the guy that builds this up. Its my first build video, please leave friendly comments and critiques below. Please like this video if you do and subscribe to the channel! Thanks so much for watching.

I worked at a shop from 1982-1985 and we had some classic Bianchis that never sold. No idea what models they were. When I left the shop to go to college there were still some in boxes that had been there since I started and never built up. Always wondered what happened to those bikes.

NICE BUILD! My 'rich neighbor/friend' had an '83 Bianche in celeste green, looked exactly the same as your build here. 90% of the components were the same. For some reason they sold with almost but not quite full Campy NR gruppo, only difference the Modolo Speedy brakes (and 'maybe' cheaper non Campy pedals? Not sure.), and my friend had to (have his rich dad) buy him your same Campy Record brakes, cause he said the Modolo Speedys 'sucked'. OC he had to be the 1st to buy Look Pedals (PP56) in '85, a year before everyone else started buying them. I remember he had to drill 3 holes in each of his SIDI cycling cleats and tack in the 6 included spiked nuts to get the Look delta cleats to bolt on (black delta cleats w/o 'float' were only cleats available at the time). I also remember his SIDI cleats' soles delaminated from him repeatedly pulling up when climbing out of the saddle & sprinting. I was his 'poor neighbor/friend' who had to save $ for over a year doing yard work and odd jobs for 'rich folks in the neighborhood' to buy my 1st 'decent road bike' (an '86 Nashbar Road LP for $283 on sale [$765 on 2022 $]). I still have that bike. I believe Shogun made the frames for Bike Nashbar. My Nashbar was made in Japan w/triple butted Ishiwata tubing. The frame is strange, has the seatstays cross and braze onto the seattube and toptube making an ~ 8" triangle. Considering my frame's 25" (I'm 6' 4") this weird engineering makes this my stiffest steel bike, and rides the best of all my vintage bikes IMO. The geometry seems 1/2 '80s Sport Tourer' with 73° head/seattube angles & 40" wheelbase, not all out racing, but not 'sport touring' bike either. My only gripe with riding it today in my 50s is I could just BARELY fit 28mm Conti Gatorskins on the rear, having to file the brake bridge of frame a tad to get 1.5mm of clearance (I know, supposed to be minimum 3mm but not possible. Front 28mm gatorskin does have 3mm clearance). Gotta have 28mm tires since I'm a Clyde at 225 lbs. Back in HS I thought I had 'the sucky bike' but I was completely wrong. Nashbar made excellent bikes back in the 80s. My Nashbar came equipped with the typical mishmash of Suntour, Sugino & Dia-Compe components which all meshed together nicely. Same gearing as your Bianchi (2x6 sp: 42/52t 13-24t). I believe my old neighbor/friend still owns his Bianchi also, his with tubulars.

I remember shoes before they were Look compatible. It was some work to get them to work well! That triple triangle design of your Shogun was adopted by GT bicycles. They use that design now. It does increase stiffness. Alot of great framesets came out of Japan in the 80s. Many manufacturers went to Japan to source their framesets. Alot of that product was under rated back then. They are worth keeping and riding! Thanks for watching!
I had one with similar logos on the seat stays and fork crown. I searched all over for a serial no and the only place I could find is like yours, at the top of the seat tube on the drive side. Mine was 501. It was originally red and had been painted black with gold splatters, according the the seller the previous owner painted it that way to discourage theft. But it did have a nice compliment of Campagnolo group. I had it blasted and powder coated red, I just couldn't love the gold splatter. I have since moved it on to a good owner.

I have a Racing Department 1995 TSX UL frame and fork, that I raced from 1995 to 2000. I believe that 1995 was the last year that they made steel frames in their racing department. After that, it was Ti, and then, finally, carbon. I built it up with Campy Chorus 8 speed Ergo. 8 speed Campy allowed me to use all of my old 7 speed race wheels, because it would index perfectly with the Sachs freewheels. You just had to block off the last shift on the derailleur stop screws.

PS. That stem looks like a Cinelli 1A. Back then, Cinelli bars and stems were 26.2mm, instead of the standard 26.0mm. I've got some of those shift levers around in my parts box. I can't remember when Campy changed their BCD to 135mm, so that they could fit a 42 ring, but sometime in the 70's they could only take a 44 ring. At that time, the QR levers were straight, not curved.

@@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage Looks like I slipped up. That 135mm is for the semi modern cranks that could take a 39 ring. The 144mm BCD allowed a 42 ring (some people made a 41 that would fit on). My memory must be failing....My old Cinelli 1A bar and stem IS 26.4mm, not 26.2. After sitting unused for 15 years, I updated Bianchi, and now use it as a Sunday bike. I put on most of a Shimano 7700, 9 speed group, because I have lots of Shimano 8,9,10 speed wheels. The only things left on it are Campy, are the cranks, BB, headset, and an old friction type Super Record front derailleur (with the black links) For some strange reason, that friction front derailleur works well with a Shimano indexed left shifter.

Beautiful bike! It's always so nice to work with the good parts with quality bearings, good threads, etc., especially when you also have to deal with some other parts that barely function when new. There might not have been time (or need) to mention it, but when installing a chain pin, it may be necessary to use the upper position on the chain tool to avoid/fix a stiff link.

3.6 looks like half of the serial number to me. On my 1982 (1981 build) Campione d'Italia, the S/N wraps around the seat lug, with 1.M on one side and 9914 on the other.
The park cable cutting tool has an integral crimper too, does better job than needle nose pliers.
Given that grease over time, especially over forty years congeals, of course you did FULLY disassemble the entire BB, as well, the headset, FULLY clean out all parts, FULLY relubricate and reassemble, right......? You lightly honed out the seat tube, right? You assessed BB final setting of the adjustable cup via 360 ("12/3/6/9" O'clock) degree rotation of drive side before you mounted the left crank, right? Given the age of the NOS hubs, they were also disassembled and relubed, reset with pre-load gap for final proper bearing pressure once clamped down with proper QR closure, right? The Regina was, of course, fully cleaned and relubed, right? Rear triangle assessed for alignment, right? Fogging all 11 tubes not necessary but beneficial before assembly. Entire 1-A stem bolt assembly FULLY tagged with anti-seize on all surfaces, as well, steering tube I.D., 1-A O.D. before assembly, right? Clear protective tape underneath the cable guides is always a good idea. So too, fully disassembling the pedals before mounting and regreasing both sets of bearings as the grease has congealed. It's always a sound idea to lightly lubricate upper and lower RD pivot bolts and lubricate/oil the pulleys. The Nuovo Record derailleur is in fact correct for that frameset.

the way gas prices are people will buy more bikes I saw it one year bike shops were selling bikes at a rapid rate to the point cars weren't selling I had to laugh I loved it hooray for the bike I still have my 15 speed Schwinn now gas prices 5.00 a gallon bike shops are doing a spectacular job they are selling like hot cakes great for the bike industry too bad Schwinn is out of business

Interesting. where was that?
Great build. So cool to see in such good nick. I have a Bianchi Pista Peroni edition that has the same livery with the accents slashes on the B and I. Any idea on the logo meanings? Or eras??? Bianchi have so many different versions/fonts.

What a sweet bike and great way to document it. Care to disclose what a project like this costs or if there are similar NOS opportunities that aren't as spendy? Thanks!

I can tell you that I underpaid for the frameset, bars and stem together all NOS was $1425. The wheels were NOS and $300. Other used campy stuff you can probably look up. Some I had on hand. I have equity in this bike which is nice. Thanks for watching.

@@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage wow, that's way less than expected. Very nice bike!
the loss of feel riding with clinchers versus the original sew ups is massive...sew ups provide a far and away better ride for the purist...perhaps try those bad boy sew ups again? My guess is you'd drive differently from what you did as a young man, and the sew ups are better now too. As someone who'se done this very same thing with an early 70's Campy Atala, I can say clinchers were a big mistake. Too much loss of Ferrari like road feel.

Many would definitely agree with you. Im sure that I'll ride one bike with tubulars this coming season. I have several wheelsets and bikes that they would work on.
Firstly, beautiful bike John. Do you know a good resource to find out the age and model of an older Bianchi bike? The only bike I have is an older Bianchi road bike, I’m guessing a bit newer than this one (probably 80s) and not Celeste but more of a cobalt blue. Would love to know the exact age and model as it’s still in pretty good condition and I love the thing.

Actually I don't have a great resource for that. Bike. Forums.net is a great resource. Post the bike and a bunch of campagknowitalls will assist you. Lol

People bust my chops constantly. Im used to it. Years ago I was taught to make sure that they are wet. I dont put a coating. What say you? Maybe I'll learn something. Ive been doing that for 40 years on hundreds of bicycles and my cranks are always tight and and firm.
Are you going to wear Period Correct shoes from the 1970's ?

You're right, it was somewhat trendy not to put those on.
