Bianchi build
Ok Now that I have the mixte done I need to concentrate on finishing the Bianchi. I have found a source for the celeste cable housing from a fellow forumite so thats taken care of. I have everything else I need (I think) to complete the build. Here's my question. I was going to use celeste bartape but got to thinking that might be a bit too much celeste I thought if I used black tape then the cable housing would stand out more. I will be using a black Brooks and black rims and the linear pull brakes are black too. So how does that sound?

When I had a celeste bianchi I first taped the bars black.. it only lasted a while as it just didnt look good, I went out on ebay just to get some celeste.
Black however may be ok on yours with the other black stuff... I had a celeste seat on mine

Did you also have the celeste cable housings? I just wanted to draw the eye to the cable housings and the frame and thought the bartape might be a bit much also I'm wondering how its going to look when it gets dirty.

Also, its hard to match new celeste tape to the old celeste paint. Binachi changed it up a tad over the years and most of the new stuff doesnt match.
