Picture of the Day
So I was cleaning my bike up today and as I squatted down to finish the wipe down, I just paused for a moment to take in the beauty of this Bianchi Veloce I have. I have other bikes that might fit me better, but this bike always quickens my pulse a little more than the others when I ride it.

Looks very nice. Do you ever ride it? I don't see any sign of grease/grime. Looks like there isn't even lube on the chain.

Is it me or does it look like the wheel is not sitting all the way into the dropout ?.

I don't think I can top yours! 
Anyhow, here is my work in progress... I kind of put myself in a hole by putting the downtube decal in the wrong spot. The curve of the bottom of the "S" in De Rosa is in alignment with a bottle cage hole. Problem is, I lined up the bottom hole instead of the top one. There are now 50 new swear words out there. I had to peel it off and order another decal. Bummer.

I don't think I've ever had a bike that clean.

No such thing as too much bling in Atlanta.
Love, love, love your clean Veloce. The fade fork and paired spokes are sublime and the OEM post and saddle are over the top. Did the bike come with those wheels?
Looks like a thumping system too.

Other topic: That's a Sony ES (Elevated Standard (fancy, fancy)) system. The turntable has the BioTracer arm. I think it was some of Sony's best stuff. Thanks for the comps!
BTW, your bike is absolutely stunning. My jaw dropped.
