Let's see some rides.

This is my 2002 XL EV2. It originally came with a Record/Chorus mix as stock. It has Record crankset, rear derailleur, chain and carbon levers/shifters. It has Chorus calipers, 12-25 cassette, pro fit pedals and front derailleur. I replaced the pain-in-the-ass Bianchi Titanium seat post with a fantastic Campy Chorus Titanium post from 2002. I also replaced the ugly Pantani seat with a Fizik Arione and the Levitation wheels with some new Campagnolo Protons. The rubber is Continental's slick Attack/Force combo. The bars and stem are ITM Millenium.

The color scheme is a gorgeous Celeste Olympic Paint scheme that has held up remarkably well with very few marks of any kind.

First is an RC 'crosser, before I pulled off the 9sp Ultegra and installed 8sp Record/Chorus. Second is the other RC 'crosser, which came to me with the weirdest mishmash of 8sp 105/600, which I replaced with an 8sp Campy Racing Triple. Just didn't seem right to have anything but Campy on Italian steel. Last is my family of Axises--my only defense for this bit of lunacy is that some were used, one was built from a frameset and others were bought as closeouts. What the heck--there are much worse vices....
Nice rides!.......Jeez, my wife would kill me if I had that many bikes in the house! You're right about the Campy and Bianchi thing.....although Shimano makes a hell of a nice Groupo....I could never see my bike with any other than Italian parts on it.

Gut,

Great picture......Love the paint scheme.
Yet another nice ride........ a lot of the roads that I use for training have brand new black-top on them.....boy if the celeste color doesn't look fine riding on top of it! Looks like Ullrich is going to choke again...maybe it's his bike. His best outing against Lance was on a Bianchi in 2003.
