That Bianchi looks like a fun bike.
I have some plans for this bike. I'm going to experiment with Campy shifters and a SRAM drivetrain. I just need to pick up a 10 speed cassette from work.

The paint is pretty trashed. If it was in better shape i would leave it.

i say, top coat it with clear finish..
don't remove the paint.. the beauty is there, no matter how scratched and dinged she is..
repainting only reduces it's value
