This is a classic mid-80s Bianchi, in the 'right' colour. (Pantone 233 Celeste) and a nice bigg size. I'm 5'11" but I ride a 60 in vintage sizing. It was never a top of the line model, so I took the nasty disraeli gears off and it makes an awesome dual-brake singlespeed.
New Cinelli bars & stem, with Fizik celeste tape. Ambrosio wheels. Conti tyres. Shimano 'arabesque' crankset, running a shaved outer ring as a guard. New Jagwire celeste cables. Shimano cage/spd reversible padals, but can be omitted if you prefer.
Condition is nice but does bear a few nicks & chips, all touched-up, slightly off-match (current version of Bianchi's own paint toucher-upper pen thing). However there are no dents and the bike rides perfectly straight and true.
Currently I have some SKS mudguards shoe-horned in there, and an old fave B17 saddle. You can opt to have or omit the guards, but I'm keeping the saddle. The bag in the photos is a keeper too of course. With open-cable brake levers, the bike would be a blast at L'Eroica!
I apologise for the crap photos, and I will send detailed images to anyone interested, including details of the paint imperfections.
£275 + £15 shipping from 'oop north'.
