What's most impressive is how quickly the OP completed the project. IIRC, he only bought it a couple of weeks ago! A couple of months would be a record for me. Most take a couple of years. I may even have some that are a couple of decades old! BTW, I'd apprecaite the serial number for my database. TIA.

yes a little bit of time frame management is all that needed I'm used to this kind of set up A day Job,training for Ironman, business, and of course time for my family and little one. I just sacrifice other things to make way for others like not watching T.v. anymore. haha

Nice work, there's just something about celeste that you have to love. I own a bianchi celeste that's a little bit newer. Every time i see it the color does something else that no other color can do....

Please tell me how the bike was painted — I hope that I did not miss something in the thread. The paintwork has that "feel" that I want on one of my projects.
Congrats on a marvelous piece of work! — Lorne

Top job, my friend. The bag matches the Brooks very nicely indeed.
I preferred the Gipiemme wheels, but I´m a sucker for the deep aluminium wheelsets from the 90s

One of the most prettiest before and after efforts to be posted to C&V.
Beautiful Bianchi, and your leather work is superb.
If fate smiles upon me, may I find a Bianchi some day for myself.
