New wheelset and tires for the commuter. I think I'll be a bit more visible at night

I'm still figuring out what the ideal pads will be so that I can remove the wheels with the tires inflated when the cables are released (it is possible), and need to install the CB90 cable releases when they arrive, but you get the idea

That Surly looks like tons of fun.

****yeah. would ride. the straddle cable doesnt come out easy if you wanna take the wheel out?

whats them tires?

50voltphantom

It is. I love this bike.

Thanks! It does not, at least not without taking a Dremel with a cut-off wheel to the caliper (which I've considered), but I've opted for this more expensive and elegant solution.

Tires are Maxxis Raze 33's.

I did some upgrades so I'm re-posting.(cranks, pedals, stem, bars)

You ever considered changing the fork? Personal preference but I've personally always thought the stock one on the Sei Giorni like kind of off

Noli Timere

It's MORE than kind of off. Yes, once I find one that will work well with it, I'm swapping it out.

The bike looks smoking hot, but that fork, paraphrasing my 8yo, looks "I-dunno"...
From what I understood, it's not stock?

Noli Timere

No, that's indeed the stock fork.

thedapperest

Wonderful, you may have problem finding a matte black fork though, they all seem to come in gloss :/

Noli Timere

Probably going to go with this one as it will match well and the rake is the same. RG is out of them but I may have found another elsewhere...

That fork looks awesome!

thedapperest

A Celeste fork would a nice option too, and you could get away with gloss
This would be a good option

See, I saw this one and thought that it might work then I thought that I was crazy. I've seen celeste bikes with black forks but couldn't find any black bikes with celeste forks and was really wondering how it'd look.

Maybe I'll post in the "should I" thread.

Mumonkan

almost every leader ive seen irl was black with a seafoam/"celeste" fork

thedapperest

But see I'd imagine that looking odd because black leaders don't have seafoam accents but because the Bianchi does I think it would look perfectly in place

Thought I'd seen that before but wasn't sure, realized it was in my instagram feed when I saw the Dash Delivery logo. Very elegant

Muffin Man

That looks really good. Interesting seatpost arrangement too.

Thanks. The thomson post has been cut down to a nub and the ISP is sleeved at the junction for strength. Its also relatively thick tubing to prevent any issues. Its been rolling as a work bike for years as well so I am pretty confident in it. It makes the ride super smooth sturdy feeling.

Noli Timere

Amazing looking bike, man.
