Huh?
Do people say that a lot or did isotopesope just make that up?
Made me laugh.

The old Bianchi color is way better.
The new chome pistas could probably hide their crappy welds with colored paint, but I bet they were too embarassed themself's to paint em with their trademark.
Ohh and post numero uno, say hi to the N00B....or not.

Gosh, I like my Pista.
It holds the components together and keeps the wheels apart.
I'd like it with a Celeste triangle and chrome forks and stays.
Or, how about a black triangle with Celeste accents and chrome forks and stays?
If Bianchi wanted it really cool, they wouldn't put the word BIANCHI on it, anywhere.
They'd just have sufficient Celeste to make its presence unmistakable and the Eduardo Bianchi emblem on the head tube.

there are conflicting stories about how celeste became the signature paint of bianchi, but a seemingly plausible one is that they were able to get a large quantity of (military, i think) surplus paint on the ultracheap. it happened to be "celeste." it's a god-awful color in any case.

Actually, I agree. I really long for a celeste Bianchi to return to the roots.

You can paint any bike Celeste, as long as it's a Bianchi!
