L'Eroica or 'the heroic' is an annual event in Tuscany (and now other countries) of which Bianchi is a key sponsor
Bianchi has also specified a Campagnolo Veloce alloy rear derailleur that's custom finished for drivetrain specialists to just bear the iconic Campag logo. The Bianchi designed hubs are laced to classic Ambrosio box-section rims (available in either clincher or tubular). The hubs are high-chrome and high flange designs, and with their drilled out design look like the Campag Record units of 30 years ago.
Dia Compe's Gran Sport range provides the 610 centre-pull brakes (which have much of the look and design of original Mafac's or Weinmann 610s) and the Dia Compe chainset with its three-arm spider stays equally faithful to the era.
