My newish bike

[shogun12345]

Its a bit bright for me, but that just me; it looks a good bike. As people say you can't go wrong with Bianchi, I've one too BTW (C2C 928 Veloce)

I think my camera flash has made it a little lighter than it actually is plus it should be a little bit more 'greeny'

Well you obviously have brilliant taste. Anyone who has a Bianchi is a friend of mine

I took delivery of my 928 C2C on Saturday. I chose the Celeste colour scheme - although it is mostly carbon colour - so yes, I do like it! It looks fantastic

However, I showed it to my cycling buddy and his wife and the first thing they said was that my normal royal blue jersey clashed and I need to buy new kit that matched
Might struggle to justify that to the Mrs so soon

Also, apologies to all you Campag purists - I have committed double heresey. One, it is fitted with Shimano 105 and two, it is a triple chainset

You will burn in hell for your sins jk. right now i'm having trouble finding kit of the same sort of colour. Most of the time for me I just wear any old jersey. I never really see any other cyclists so I don't need to match or 'owt . But on sundays I tend to see loads. I was thinking about the Gweiss Bianchi kit. I'm also going to have to get a new saddle. The one it came with makes my flesh ballons go num . Finding a saddle in celeste to match the bike is probably going to be an impsossible task. I'm probably going to have to face up to the fact that my saddle may never match my Bianchi ever again

shogun,
Try the Bianchi website. They have saddles and also celeste kit - although it is a bit pricey

The Aliante Delta is the one that came with my steed. Too early to say yet how good it is though.

Gary.

Wow thats a big help. Thanks Gary. I've seen the jerseys on there before but didn't realise they did saddles aswell.

I'll have to order one pretty soon.

Shogun - there's loads of Bianchi 'celeste' coloured tops/shorts etc to be found on Ebay. I got a top for around £20 on there.

I got a Bianchi too .... although tis only a mere hybrid

 

[shogun12345]

Do they? Oh might have to have a look in a min then. Thanks Snapper,

Love the bike btw

Had a ride on a carbon 928 CtoC Veloce but I'm afraid I didn't like it. Whatever floats your boat...

Thanks. Mines the 2007 which is a cool mat black colour. It's fast and great for riding in heavy traffic. Good luck with the new outfit to match

Nice bike Shogun. I too have a soft spot for Bianchis.

When I was looking to purchase my current bike, all I could think about was getting a Bianchi, and it had to be in the Bianchi Celeste.

I couldn't afford an expensive bike, and I really wanted a hybrid as I was upgrading my old MTB and I was sure about using drops.

I couldn't find a hybrid in all celeste, but I did find one on the Evans website which was in the Liquigas team colours (2005 Via Nirone) for just £399.

I was almost in tears the other day when I cleaned my bike and found chips on the chainstay. I think I need to order a touch up pen from Bianchi.

If you do order anything from the Bianchi store, sign up for the Bianchisti club and get a 10% discount.
