Finally I removed the sticker off the Bianchi, this is how my bike look now, not a lots different, but noticeably so than the first one, some of you should be able to spot me from the norms now;

exactly, and the blue bar made it look rather nice methinks.
my girlfriend kept complaining about the saddle "it's so tacky! it doesn't suit the bike at all!".

I'm still sticking to it - this is how the finish product should look (the frame is going to get respray in a glossy light grey eventually, like couple or several months time).

why get the frame resprayed? looks great as it is, just add some more colours, maybe a rear wheel, cranks, tyre, not all of these just some

yeh leave it as it is, i guess it looks amazing in the flesh. any extra sparkle will be killed by a months riding. i've seen a similar bianchi which has had the same treatment (alway parked outside the brownswood park tavern on green lanes if its anyones on here). looks beautiful. i would without doubt set about the same thing if i had one.
(also the saddle matches the tyres) ;)
imagine chrome tyres, the hipsters would go insane

simply because ever since I've converted my first bike, I always wanted that kind of paint scheme, well, originally was this;
What I can do thought, is simply get a better rims in black, and hopefully if it look great, leave it at that (with a few compound changed to black like the stem).

Looks real good. Even more tempted now to take the decals off of mine! What did you use?

That's lovely mate!! My friend is planning to do the same with his but he's getting electric blue Deep-V's and a riser bar, great look there though!

car paint stripper from the local garage for a fiver, a bit of a bastard to use, make sure you do one frame, and be careful with the paint stripper, one drop on the eyes, even second could make you blind for life.
this is how you should removed the sticker, do the whole thing not just the sticker part as you also need to removed the whole clearcoat so it look nice and smooth;
