Hmmm.

I'm not sure.

In my mind it looked right.

Everything except the frame and bars was sat in the garage waiting patiently for the right frame. I saw the Bianchi on here, liked the colour [#girl] and had a good feeling about the finished look.

Now it's done I'm not sure.

Paint the rear silver? Or white?

Orange tape on the bar tops?

Smaller, modern (boooooooo) saddle?

It's just the rear wheel that makes it look a bit dodgy! The rest certainly isn't porn but looks like a perfectly good run around! I really the frame actually, nice paintjob.

2p:
1. get a matching rear wheel.
2. wrap the top half of the bars.
3. raise the stem / lower the seatpost / get bigger frame.
done!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
