The Bianchesini...a 2013 build
This will be a future build for when I get back from overseas. Named the "Bianchesini" for its gorgeous pearlescent celeste green color, it's a 90s vintage Chesini NOS frame painted by Frank Hoste in Belgium. It's going to be a neo-retro build with Campy Chorus 9spd, some sweet Campy wheels with straight pull spokes, Centaur compact cranks, and a blue Selle Flite saddle. All the parts will be silver aluminum, so it should look pretty slick.

Only downside; this build will be waiting for about 4 years in a big box. I'm headed back overseas and the whole shop isn't coming along. On the up side it's gonna be a great gift to myself in 2013. Although by then no one will know what aluminum is.





















And a few more shots if this wasn't enough celesteporn for you:
