Great Bianchi. It really is a genius? I have never seen a genius with this '95-'96 fork paint scheme and at the same time with lugged frame. It is possible that a TSX or EL?

Always wondered myself. Reciept says Genius, sticker too, shop that assembled it also. But anyway I won it from Bicycle Guide magazine so the price was right. My bucket bike. Still wonderful.

Beautiful bike. Beautiful story. My father's been struggling with MS for some time, so it's particularly heartening to come across this story... and, in the small world department, I grew up on LI, too. Really, though... Gorgeous bike. Those tires. That tape. That steel in that shape.
