Low Miles Bianchi Project

I’ve been keeping my eyes open for an upper-tier Bianchi but they’re few and far between in my area. I picked up this 1989 Super Leggera last September and have been doing a bit of work on it as I get time. It has the typical dirt you’d find on a 36 year old bike, and a bit of road rash, but I started noticing the lack of wear normally seen. Light rust has also taken up residence on some of the components.

It has most of its original Chorus components, but has had the saddle and pedals replaced. It came with a set of Profile aerobars wrapped in correct Bianchi celeste tape, but the PO appears to have had a cat that used it as a jungle gym. The tape was shredded.

Enjoy the photos of it as received and I’ll start posting progress shortly.
