newbie

Hey,

My name is Danny I am new to bikes well road bikes in general. I had a beat up windsor that I sold a few months back because it was too small. Then surprise surprise my girlfriend went out and bought me a new bike this time a vintage celeste bianchi which I need to try to id... I do need to do a few things to it like get a new down stem and handlebars. I am told my handle bars will only fit the down stem that I have because of the specific size that Cinelli made it. I dont know much about bikes but want to learn! I will post pictures! Oh I live in SF, this will be my commuter bike when Im not riding my moped

nice to meet you all

danny

Hi Danny, I see you already made your way over to the C & V forum, and I'm also happy to see that you said you will post photos (it makes it a lot easier to ID something that way).

Check out the Northern California regional forum as well.

Welcome to BF, and feel free to PM me with any questions !

East Hill
