Subject: [CR]Bianchi Bottom Bracket PAPER SLEEVE

With the recent discussion on BB sleeves, thought some may be interested in what I found in my 1964 Bianchi Specialissima's bottom bracket when I pulled it,,,,,,,a BIANCHI paper sleeve wrapped around the spindle!!!

First time I personally ever handled a Campagnolo 3/16" ball bearing bottom bracket. Interesting axle with what appears to be replaceable pressed on bearing races. Decided to preserve the BIANCHI paper sleeve by not reinstalling it.

If you are interested in viewing photos of the BB, here's the Wool Jersey link (additional photos on 2nd page of album):
