I am getting ready to build my '83 Bianchi bike. It is a "Tipo Corsa 28T" Not sure what the 28T stands for. All NR equipment. The particular shade of Celeste on this frame is decidedly green. Not the more usual bluish green. The decals are dark red with the gold shading. Can anyone point me to a source for dark red cables and bar tape? I would be most grateful.
