My beater SS Bianchi:
I'm hunting down ugly/multicolored parts for it. I've already got some horrible bar tape and two different colored water bottle cages. I need a saddle in a goofy color and maybe a seatpost, stem and/or cranks.

if you google 'celeste porn' you get some interesting pictures that have very little to do with cycling. a bit with 'riding', but not 'cycling'.

Mention the Bianchi 350 Freccia Celeste (Blue Arrow) of Tazio Nuvolari to the motorcycling enthusiasts of Italy and they will shed an involuntary tear for past glories. The Freccia Celeste, named for its sky blue paint job, encapsulated the finest racing technology of the 1925 to 1930 period.

Here is my Pista which I use on the road instead of the track. I am running it as a SS now but I have a fixed cog on the other side of the flip-flop hub. 7"+ saddle to bar drop.

Hehe, ok it's bare but not much celeste color visible... btw, here it's shot just after buying it - I changed to blue-sided Pro2Race tires immediately. They make a noticeable difference both in the looks of the bike and in the feel of riding.
