I have a 2014 chrome Rush, and IMO the decals are understated and classy, so I haven't removed any of them. I think an all chrome frame with no contrast looks too barren. Just my opinion.

Hey man, I have a Sugino SP-H seat post in my parts bin, that you can have if you will use it. Not sure how well that Bianchi fits you, but this seatpost is 200mm I think, so not much room to extend if yer needing to make up some room here or there. Its a single bolt deal, though, which I know a lot of people hate. Its fluted, which is cool. I'll post a pic when I'm at a computer, can't figure out how from my phone for some reason.

Finally back home and ready to get this bike rideable!
I was thinking of making it more of a townie bike initially but now i think i want to get some drops for it and make it more of a training tool for my road biking.
All i need to get this bike up and running is handlbars, pedals (clips?!) and a seat post.. So close!

Well, I couldnt help myself. Borrowed some parts from my commuter bike to get this completed and took it for a spin yesterday 
Such a quiet and smooth ride, the gearing is a little off for my tastes but manageable for the time being.
Must get new pedals, these ones are tiny and suck really bad.
