Bike p0rn: '84 Bianchi
Apologies if this has been posted before...
Bicycles are art to me - they are beautiful. So I always appreciate good photos:

I have seen that one before, and I would like to know what country it is in. something looks odd for it to be a '84.
if I was to see sexxy Bianchis I just walk into the livingroom
'90, '97, '00

It seems I didn't hit post on my reply earlier (or a mod deleted it. I have no clue why that would be the case). The skewer release placement bugs me. I realize it is there for the purposes of using that stand. But, given the angle of the photo something less intrusive could've been used to hold the bike up...
It really ruins an otherwise lovely picture for me.

That Colnago Carbitubo of his would sure look nice in my dream garage. If I had a dream garage, that is.

as much as I really like that uncoated spiral metal housing I can't stand it when someone uses mismatched cable housing....should have just gone with blue like the rest of it. Or sprung for enough of that uncoated housing for the whole bike.

It doesn't bother me, especially as that was prolly how the bike was originally (at least I believe so). I know my Bianchi was/is like that.

I wish I had the skill to take such a photograph. I wish I had the skill to clean my bike like that too.

curmudgeon, but that Bianchi pale green is not to be liked
I know it is 'Bianchi', but if one can look at it with objectivity, it is not appealing
but then, all pre-WW2 bikes being black brings about a certain yawn, too

I think the proper translation to English of Celeste is "Fairybarf". Yes, I still want to own a bianchi or two. It's so ugly it's cool again. I like the concept of trademark colours for bike factories, but IMHO the Wilier copper or GIOS blue is much more appealing. This bike is absolutely stunning in the way it's restored and presented too.

it is the room in the apartment that is the living room. since there is no TV, sofa, or bark a lounger my Daughter does not think it is very livable. but since I am seldom home for long periods and view this place as somewhat temporary I never got alot of furniture.
PS the stuff in the foreground is my daughters stuff when she was staying there

Funny - I agree. I absolutely did not like the Celeste color at first, but it has grown on me and now I like it.
Go figure.
