RC10 "Infinito"

[MotoObscura]

There are so many different shades of Celeste on that bike, the bar tape, the frame, the seat, none of them are exactly the same though haha. Modern Celeste is a lot more blue than it used to be

[Rayzerp]

Really nice bike Yep the modern Bianchi celestre is a lot more blue......can't wait to see what shade is on my painted shell. I think vintage bike paint schemes are perfect for RC10.
Have all the parts dyed black....all the yaiba parts are stuck in post somewhere so that's holding up the final assembly.

[Rayzerp]

Have most of the parts now so did a bit of assembly last night to check how everything fits together. Front tower is one piece still missing so using a truck version for now....excuse the poor pictures from my phone.

awsome looking car. the red looks great with the black. are those big bores?

[Rayzerp]

Yep big bores....I thought the red would look good but am really delighted with it in reality. The intention is for this to be my regular race car so performance will be more important but looking good is ok too!!

Did you thin up the rear bulkhead to make your inner camber link mod work?

Originally, the Bianchi colour was actually a duck egg blue before they switched to Celeste green.

Live the idea of this thread. I have a Bianchi EV4 frame to build up this summer in a retro style with 90s Record components. Quite fancy building either a Schumacher Cougar 1 or a CAT XLS to match - won't dare tell anybody not on this forum though, for fear of being labelled a geek...

No...I had to do a bit of trimming where the original wing mount tubes were but the alloy parts are bolted straight to the bulkhead. The tricky bit was to position the months to fit around the gearbox.

I know what u mean

Bike and car projects sound very cool

Version 1 of this car was very quickly built up on Saturday to go to my first race meeting in 6 months on Sunday. Had to borrow a shell from another car and work with some temporary parts but I really wanted to check how the car ran in its current state as it is going to be my regular runner. My guessed set-up was a mile off and it took me practice and 2 qualifiers to get it dialed but after that the car was fantastic....finised up 3rd in 10.5 class behind a C4.2 and Cougar SV. Could have been better with a less rusty driver and had a few issues with steering ball-cups popping off which I think is due to the angle that they are running from original rc10 rack to B4 outboard parts. something to work on.

Which ball cups are you using? I don't see a geometry problem with my set up but I have the same issue. My RPM ball cups pop off easily. I wonder if the older pivot balls are smaller. I may try an old trick and put a plastic baggie in between before snapping then together and trim. This should take up a little bit of slack if it doesn't bind up. If that works, I'll be purchasing new pivots

the yaiba parts look really good on there. my b4 has them, but i really dig them on your car.

I am using new j concepts ball cups which are hard to get off when I want to adjust something but fronts pop off easily with a side impact to front wheel. I have had the same problem on my other OIN car. I have been messing around with some B4 parts and hope I have solved the problem which I think was due to the horizontal angle from the steering rack to steering arms.....with suspension compressed the cups were an an angle where a small impact could pop them off. I will post some pics once I have completed the mods.

Thanks. I love the red on there. I have just got the body back from painter and am delighted with results. Custom front tower is on its way from fibrelyte so I hope to finish soon.

The replacement ball cups from ae are actually pretty good. I haven't had any issues with them.
They fit much better then the thick rpm ends.
