An RV has been dumping its septic tank into a storm drain across from Washington Park. This drain leads directly to the bay, just a few hundred yards away (where people swim).

I've seen this unfold a number of times now. I have a photo of the RV and its license plate# and an associated address on Central that the RV fills it's water tanks from.

I was told to call the non emergency number to make a report, but the only response was a voicemail from a bored sounding cop that said whoever it was is gone now.

I'd picked this up from the popular online auction site sometime back and it's time I start putting it together. My guess is 1985. The fork crown has a "B' on either side of the stem, rather than the Bianchi eagle.

While I'm not going to attempt a "full resto," I hope to use period correct Campagnolo for the major components (cranks, brakes, levers, derailleurs, shifters), and find modern parts that look right for a few others. I assume this is early 700c geometry, if anyone knows for sure, let me know.

I remember reading there was a model kit enamel paint color (either Testors or Tamiya), that was a match for Bianchi Celeste. Anyone know what they were, or if there's a good source for touch-up paint?

Aside from having to squeeze past cars on the regular, I'm now confined to a lane taken over by eMotos. Yesterday was passed by one that had to have been going 40.

It's interesting that advocacy groups such as the SFBC and Bike East Bay are silent on the issue.
