                                          Di maibenta, gustong piyesahin

                                                        Pagagandahin ko na lang


Part of my plan this year is to rid myself of old bikes, other MTB and just have one MTB Ti, one Bianchi OEM.   I even planned to sell/return Fuji to VM but I changed my mind.  I will get the Cosmic wheelset, the carbon drop bar, and Campy GS.

However the response to the post was discouraging because I did not know the brand model  of the Bianchi frame I had.  It is a very light bike, maybe just 2 lbs shy of Fuji weight.  Has an Ultegra 6600 GS. and Alex Rim wheelset, and FSA carbon crank 53 -39, Cogs xt 11 -32.  And the inquiries were part out, barat, or simply inquiry na lang

However I found out that it is a Freccia Celeste, top of the line alum bike of Bianchi, weighing mere 1.234 grams, and whose geometry is in the like of Specialissima. 

So I decided na I will have it repainted, throw in a lighter carbon fiber drop bar, seat post, and possibly get a Fulcrum Quattro wheelset (1,700 grams).  Retain Ultegra GS 6600, (2,700 grams) And therefore, I would end up with a 7.2 kg bike.  Good enough for an Freccia Celeste.  Sana maging maganda gaya ng nasa mga Google images post

A good paint and sticker job at Stickermania can accomplish this.
