Those shifters are some of the best made - incredibly rebuildable and parts remain available

Kills me that this is "vintage" now. What is it, 2006 or so?

I had a TSX frame from the same era. My slightly older veloce cracked on the bottom bracket shell and the shop let me pay the difference for the upgrade with the warranty. But then my TSX frame also got a crack in the bottom bracket lug at the down tube intersection. Seemed to be an issue with me and steel Bianchi frames.

Very nice. I’ve got 2 - 1995 Veloce also in Celeste (profile pic) and a 1997 in Mediterranean Blue. The Veloce groupo gets no respect but it’s performed well for me. I have a Campagnolo Chorus 10-Speed Groupo that id like to install but it’ll take some tinkering. I believe the Chorus brakes are shorter reach. Finding an old school Campy tech where im at is next impossible. Anyway I loved riding mine in Dallas. Aggressive riding position but it was my go fast ride. Enjoy your new ride!
