I believe I have become part of the tangent , I was the one looking for the decals . A few weeks ago , I won a nearly perfect 1965 Bianchi Specialissima , with about half of the Made in Italy banner gone and most of the Campione Del Mondo gone , I know these decals are reproduced and I know the Made in Italy one is generic . I was very happy with this purchase , Ive been looking for one for some time , I raced on team issue bikes in the mid ' 60's . I emailed just about everyone I could think of in the business and came up short , your right no one is obligated to sell you any thing , but in my nieve way of thinking helping someone making a vintage bike perfect is a good thing , frankly I was disappointed . What I failed to tell the list was that after a week or so , two List members sent me the decals I needed . I have replaced the original plastic bar tape and the toe clips , too short for me .
