Finished my first Celeste Bianchi. It's late 90's Reparto Corse CX frame I picked up at a swap this past January. Only wish it had the original fork but the owner wanted a threadless setup over the threaded stock fork. You can't tell from the photo but it's not a solid Celeste and actually a pearlish Celeste with hints of yellow for the shadows of the lettering.

I love the ride but the 40mm Happy Mediums are just a hair too big so any heavy pedaling causes it to rub on the chainstays. But overall it's a keeper even at 22 lbs. Suntour Superbe Pro black and gold partial group(cranks, derailleurs, hubs, seatpost) from a Black Lightning I picked up a couple of months ago. I have the pedals, headset and shifters but won't be using them. Thanks for whoever put the yellow bar tape in the BOC!
