Bianchi Gallery
Hello everyone! I am a new bianchi owner and thinking about starting a restoration project on my classica. I was surprised to see that there weren't any galleries for inspiration so I figured that I would start my own. Feel free to post your bianchi, celeste or not and help give some inspiration. Thanks in advance, can't wait to see all of the beautiful bikes!

Actually there are several Bianchi threads on here. There is a serial number thread, a Official Celeste thread and I think just a show your Bianchi thread.
Restoration on a Classica? Sounds fun but why do you need inspiration? All you really need is some real good before pics to compare your progress to.
But since you asked.....
'90ish Boarala, a European cycloross frame rebuilt as a 8spd IGH fun bike.
'97 Ti Megatube w/ Campagnolo Record.
'93 Project 3 700c Mountain bike. set up for commuting/grocery getting
My Baby a '90 Proto built with Columbus MAX tubing, Chorus w/ Dura Ace RD
Another Proto acquired used a few years ago. a mix of Campi 8spd
This is my first ever new bike, a '87 Soort SX. It has seen many incarnations but this is back to mostly stock aside from the brake levers and bar/stem.
'86 Volpe, this was a pretty funky rando/touring setup but it changed a lot the last few days.
'90 something Vento 603. The frame is from the European market and I built it with the Sante group. I had to sell the Sante group so it wears mostly Chorus now.

Bikes: LESS than I did a year ago!
Had to laugh at [MENTION=159681]Bianchigirll[/MENTION] 's first posting on this thread...talking about...hey...we have other threads on Bianchi's (definitely true)...but...then she just HAD to put some pictures of her Bianchi's in here! I think we ALL take any chance we have to show off any of our bikes...
But...of course...I LOVE IT! Bike pics...never a bad thing to see on a Monday morning...
And...of course, I have to include a picture of my Bianchi...nicknamed "The Gift" as a friend of mine gave it to me for my 50th birthday!

Not sure how many Bianchi bicycles I have had, over the years, but I do know that this is the only one I have these days...
And, even though the bicycle has been in my possession for a month, or so, now, it was not until this morning that I took it out for its first ride. Gotta change the saddle position - height is good but fore/aft, not so much...

I've posted in the other threads, but I'll play here anyway. 
'91 Eros. Lots of component/saddle swaps since I first got it:
'88 Premio. Doesn't see a whole lot of miles these days, sadly:
'87 Sport SX. My rando bike with 650A tires, fenders, etc. A handlebar swap is on the horizon:
None of mine are Italian-made or celeste, unfortunately. Need to work on that!
