Let's see some rides.

This is my 2002 XL EV2. It originally came with a Record/Chorus mix as stock. It has Record crankset, rear derailleur, chain and carbon levers/shifters. It has Chorus calipers, 12-25 cassette, pro fit pedals and front derailleur. I replaced the pain-in-the-ass Bianchi Titanium seat post with a fantastic Campy Chorus Titanium post from 2002. I also replaced the ugly Pantani seat with a Fizik Arione and the Levitation wheels with some new Campagnolo Protons. The rubber is Continental's slick Attack/Force combo. The bars and stem are ITM Millenium.

The color scheme is a gorgeous Celeste Olympic Paint scheme that has held up remarkably well with very few marks of any kind.

Very nice! Obviously a '99 Reparto Corse of some sort, but I can't make out which model. ...and are those truly chromed stays? Sweee-ee-ee-eet!

And chrome lugs! You have any closup pictures? - TF

Might be able to get some close-up pics next week.
The seat & chain stays are fully chromed. The lugs just at the head tube are chromed.

my bianchi

I got this off of ebay over the summer and have been tuning it up and making it look nice ever since.
Bianchi Limited with 600 cranks, front and rear derail. modolo brakes.
Originally I put white bar tape on there, but after it started getting dirty and i needed to change the rotting hoods, i decided to go celeste.

I'm not sure if I attached it correctly or not... I got this Bianchi Campione D'Italia a month ago or so. I belive its a 1987 by looking at the Suntour Cyclone derailers. It has Ambrosio 19 Extra Durex wheelset too. It is in exellent condition, and I am debating on buying a new campy groupo or not(actually I'm looking for help on that one!) possibly Centuar or Veloce and a new carbon fork and a new handlebar and stem ( want to remove the older style stem)

1998 Celeste Steel Veloce frame with 2005 Upgrades

I bought this beautiful celeste '98 Dedacciai Zero Uno steel Veloce frame off ebay, cleaned it up, and started upgrading with '05 Campy Chorus and other parts. First I replaced the original and very heavy threaded Bianchi fork with a threadless full carbon fork. Next, I added a Campy Carbon Chorus 10 speed drivetrain (love the carbon crank!), and some lightweight and durable carbon/kevlar Italian Topolino wheels (1390 grams). Needing a short reach, stiff set-up, and light weight, I added a Ritchey stem/handlebar (can't beat it for the money!). Completed bike with a Alpha Q seatpost, a Selle saddle, and a blue Chris King NoThread headset, but isn't shown in this photo (added after picture taken). It is quite a ride!

Hi from down under.

I've had my RC Via Nirone 7 for about 2 months now and i've done over 1500 km's on it already! Love it, can't stop thinking about riding it!! Blinged it out with a set of Vento's (see the review in the general discussion forum or here ) and it rides like a dream. Great thing about living in Australia is that we can ONLY get the RC bikes that are straight from Italy. Dead Sexy.

Onward and Forward to Victory for the Celeste Army!!

Here's an 89

Bought it from a bike collector friend of mine way back in 96. Decided to go with compact geometry, so this bike will be put up for sale on craiglist.

Got this snow white Bianchi Brava about a month ago. Loving it to death - all steel, and strong as hell for daily commute.

04 Team Replica, SL3 tubeset, campy veloce, vento - but still feels like a thoroughbred to me.

Oh man...that's the bike! Do you know if they still sell that model? I'd love to get that as a frameset. If you ever want to sell that, PM me

I saw some last year still in stock around, but haven't seen any this year. Might try to get a reply from the Bianchi website. Oh, my frame is the equivalent of a 61 cm.

Yo... Look at my lady. it is so perfect, I love it more than my girl. It is a Freccia Celeste 2005 alu. carbon with record 05, campy eurus wheels, Itm handlebars, FSA K force carbon parts and seat is Fizik arione. So Bianchisti what do you think about it!!!

I have an 1885!

That is one great looking bike!!

I have an 1885 (2005)! The Campag Senteur 10-Speed group set works great, and the Vento wheels are light and tough. This bike is extremely responsiva and stiff, maybe too stiff for some, but great for racing! The teardrop styling on the tubes looks good, but I don't know what advantages they have performance wize. I really like the silver paint work by the way; I haven't seen another bike like this!

Does anyone else own an 1885?

That is a great retro frame, and needs retro components to look right!
Um..I think you have spent a bit too much money on top end components for such a traditional frame!
