This post saw the delivery of carbon frame copy from importer from Taiwan.   The  first thing I did was to look for serial number   The orig manufacturer advised to look for the serial number.  It has.... So orig ba o fake?

                                                         Serial Number sa frame

It has all the features of the orig.   Yet it came from Taiwan.  Fake ba ito.  High quality ang ganda ng build at finish  T1100 ang carbon tech.  As claimed.  (Ang gaan pa)

                                          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

To this?

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