Two queries for the collective brain-trust:

1. A friend just acquired what he says is an '87 Bianchi Argentin Limited Edition, described (haven't seen it yet, probably this weekend) as having Celeste main tubes with black-chrome fork and stays, aero fork and seat stays, internal (chain stay) der cable routing, and various engraving. He says the paint is good but the decals are not (no clear-coat). Does anyone know a source for the standard, dark blue Bianchi down tube and seat tube decals without having to repaint? Anyone know any other background information on this bike? Was this a team bike, commemorative model, etc.? Pictures?

2. Anyone know a source for original Campy NR/SR gum hood covers with the globe logo? Afraid to ask what the price might be! I have some of the shield logo replacements, but since my '81 Trek 950 is all '81 SR original, I'd like to find a pair of the original covers to keep it 100% . Am I crazy? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Temps in DC are finally moderating. Maybe I can actually ride a road bike this weekend (although the snow did a good job of cleaning up my mountain bike last weekend)!
