Bianchi Project

Hi, I've am working on a project on redoing a bianchi I got at a yard sale for $20.

So I thought I would share my progress.




Unfortunately I am not the best at applying decals, but I can live with where they are.

That color combo is awesome! Looks good with the original decals as well. I went with the newer ones from Bianchi USA, and mine looks more like a late 90s than mid 80s.

The seller Cyclomondo from ebay. He does awsome stuff. Everything except for the headbadge is bang on to what it used to be.

Powder coated metallic copper. I found a local guy who media blasts the frame and powder coats it for probably only 2 times as much as it would cost me for spray paint.
