Thanks! When I bought her new carbon roadie I paid near 3 grand. She didn't want to ride the CF cause she said the steel bike was a better ride. Must be something about steel she liked.

I like old lugged Bianchis, just the classic look and the history. The newer Cromo-lite looked fine but I had a chance to get one and passed. Just didn't seem the same without the lugs and old steel look. And like I said, Bianchi has some fine machines out there now. I rode one and was dissappointed. Jan rode one, Marco rode on but that doesn't do much for my taste in old celeste steel Bianchi models. Same with yellow, blue, black, pink Bianchi schemes, doesn't do a thing for me.

I'm surprised nobody has brought the history of the celeste color on Bianchi.
