Looking pretty sharp! How did the paint come out? The color looks rather light, but maybe its just the camera lighting.. It looks more like a traditional 60s or 70s Bianchi than how it originally looked from what I remember. Did the middle top tube braze on break off or something?

Too tight apparently, I was in the process of adusting them up and down so i was trying to keep it fairly loose.

The powdercoat came out pretty well, there are a few places that have sort of an orange peel look but I didn't pay very much at all for it. The color is more of the original celeste which was way more blue that the current. My powder guy couldn't get the matching very light celsete, the stuff he was going to use was on backorder, so I gave him the go ahead on the light blue. The camera kind of washed it out to grey. It looks alot more blue now that parts are on. The cable guides were removed in favor of split cable stops, courtesy of me. When it was stripped I figured I'd practice a little brazing.
