the wheels are still rough from street use but i when i get time i'm going to unbolt them and sandblast them to give them a "raw" finish.

Awesome! The bike looks great! I have a Bianchi Brava as my workout bike/school commuter. I love it. I'm a little new to the sport, though... I don't know much about parts and whatnot just yet. I'm still in the learning stages. If you have any suggestions for any online cycling stores/forums could you shoot me some info in a PM?

Let me mention how sweet that furniture looks to keep this on topic - I have been wanting to do this with my dad's old 928 seats and jaguar xj12 short block!
