    Nice one! I got the same one. Agree with you that the new celeste's aren't as nice... they've been putting in too much black...

    Yeah I agree. The much older Bianchis were pure celeste.

    Bluey/Greeny is a much better description anyway! ;)

    Christ NO.
    Is that an Ullrich bike ? It's far too modern and needs "Toeclips"
    Can't say I have ever seen a rear wheel with spokes like that.

    Nah, I don't get in racing bike shops these day as they are all MB shops around here for my nuts and bolts I need.
    Campag Wheels eh, so definitely modern and they wouldn't be right with Toeclips.

    Deejay, were you thinking something more like this!

    Love those bike's look.

    I think Bianchi may be the oldest surviving brand?

    Now your cooking. That's excellent work and my appreciation to you.
    Exactly what I'm looking for but I did have Campag gears and Mafac Brakes but outlined Lugs not Chrome.
    Note the "Flint Catchers" near the brakes and the cable wire clips along the Top tube.
    That's better, now I can hit someone/something with my "PUMP" which would be behind the seat tube because the gear shift levers and bottle cage were on the downtube.
    I could ride for miles with a Cape Roll under the saddle. (or not for racing)

    Edit - My frame was built by Mr Vic Monk of Hercules Road SE1 where he set up business down the road from where I lived.
    My Track Iron was built by Skeats of Clapham with the same colour but Track ends and 74degree front and 75 seat tube.

    oops, time I left the room.
