I know she is to young to be a CV yet she appears to be a bit of an oddball considering I have only seen one other "Volvo" team edition C2C.

OK OK maybe I over reacted. I don't really like these new carbon frames sorry.

I think the 'Volvo' decal exaggerates the curved downtube....but other than that, I kinda dig it.

Bianchigirl, I have tried over and over to post pictures for you to help me figure out what kind of bianchi I have but I am having no luck. I tried to send them to you in a message but it won't let me.

Yes 1" threaded. Very few if any production bikes sported oversized headsets or threadless ones then.

1987 Bianchi Limited here.
In Metallic Celeste, with Shimano 105 group and index shifting.
Now just need warm weather - or at least less snow.

1974 Bianchi
My sister's 1974 Bianchi, shortly after she got it. A truly retro bike for its time, it seemed like a survivor from the Stone Age even when it was new. Nervar cottered cranks, Universal 51 sidepulls, Sheffield pedals, Gnutti hubs, and of course those awful Campagnolo Valentino derailleurs. A very well made bike, however, and that lovely Celeste color, which is the only reason my sister bought it.

Great looking bike thanks for sharing. Any chance we can see more?
