IMHO it looks more turquoise to me compared to the OEM color.

Yep..., like my wife said, "nice color, but not like my Eros". I should have asked to see the paint, although powder-coating is, well, a powder...changes color after baked. Ironically, he had a "seafoam green" sample that was much closer to Celeste. But when I said "...for my Bianchi..." he went with the special order pitch. I would have asked for a re-coat but, this is not a true restoration by any stretch, and in the interest of not appearing to be a PITA customer, I took it as a lesson learned.

It reminds me of an '87 Volpe
I believe this particular example belongs to a member here

15 Counties? You must be able to ride that trail network for days. Nice Bianchi

Oh. That’s like Fort Wayne. They had a big ta doo last year about completing the 100th mike of bike trail but it is dozens of disjointed trails some only a mile or so

This is not mine and I don't know the owner . I love Bianchis (sp?) and I love track bikes too . So this one checks the boxes for me , what do you think ?

Built this Advantage for my wife’s birthday gift. Tange tubing, with steel fork. Was originally a horrid blue-green and charcoal two tone monstrosity. Biopace and most all driveline components were upgraded during the project.

The wife’s Advantage was one of three Bianchis I did simultaneously. All parts were painted at once with the same materials. Threw in some extra bits to have some mix and match options. Extra bars, stems, forks, etc. I Got lucky, while the paint shop was dragging its feet on the first one, I added more Edoardo to the spray load. Still have some Celeste pieces laying around from that endeavor.....
