Could use a few more modern bikes. I'm a big fan of the Infinito. I wouldn't mind getting one, but I can't bring myself to get it with anything other than Italian parts, which makes it pretty expensive...

I've posted in this thread before, but my bike's been updated. It's a 1986 Campione d'Italia with modern Centaur Componentry and self-built wheels on 1997 Campy Record hubs. The frame was starting to rust, so this past winter I got it powder-coated. I can confirm that powder code "RAL 6027" does not really have enough green in the colour to make it a true Bianchi celeste, but I'll live with it. I bought the decals from the guy in Australia who sells them.
I also finally went with white cables. I should have done that a long time ago. There's no white on the frame, but I've done everything else up in that motif, so it makes sense. I may even go back to white pedals. The more white you have, the faster it goes. Fact.

Very nice, a celeste Bianchi is one of the few bikes where white always looks good.

Not great photos i know but top photo is how she normally looks (its my winter bike), and the bottom photo is how she looks with my boyds on. I recently swapped the wheels over with my BMC Team machine so that I could take the BMC on some epic climbing routes with wicked decents without worrying about cooking the rims, and so the Boyds went on the Bianchi, and... Im in love. I cant bring myself to take them off!

That ad is spec'd 1984 and im surprised. The Pista concept from mid 2000 didn't really look all that different!
A pista concept 2006. frame looks like it hasn't changed much since 1984..
Frame isn't a special Reparto Corse made, but its from 1988 still made in Italy...!
Head tube angle on all sizes of the CDI was 73 degrees.
STA varied, from 77 on a size 52, to 74.5 on a 55, to 73.3 on a 58, 72.5 on a 61.
52cm C-T
53cm seatpost center to head tube center
Chainstay length = 405mm
Wheel base = 985mm
Tubing is Columbus Formula Two, Super Set.
Columbus Aelle Seat/Chain Stays and Fork
BB drop is 6.5 on sizes 52 - 63; fork rake is 42 on all. That BB drop and rake are identical on the Mondiale, SuperLeggera and Giro.

Hi, I remember that ad but someone changed it. The Super Pista did not exist in 1984. Bianchi did not make aluminum bikes with carbon fiber forks back then. 
The Super Pista is the newer version of the Pista Concept. I know this because I have both.

My 2009 Imola. The setup has been tweaked a little bit since this pic was taken, and I'm realizing now as I look at it that the tires have faded a bit and are no longer neon blue. Oh, and I finally restained the garage door this spring too.

I'm loving this thread, but I can't post a pic' of my Boron XL Reparto Corse yet. Why? I'm still refurbishing it, and the frame painter lost my bloody headtube badge! Grrr...
I'm getting a bit desperate to find one, it looks something very similar to this pic(thanks for the unofficial loan of the pic, page # 1 member!)
Apparently I need an upgraded membership ($$$'s ?)to post on the wanted to buy forum link; can anyone suggest a go-to for finding said headtube badge?

It was once red but now ...
Planning on changing the seat, pedals are now ultegra spd-sl's, racing wheels down the road too... my frame looks so pale in comparison to all the other bikes. haha.
