Bianchi Celeste Road Bike 1973

When it comes to vintage bicycles, there a few things as iconic as the famous "Celeste Bianchi". Indissolubly connected with the epic victories of Fausto Coppi and Felice Gimondi, the Bianchi paintwork has become a legend through the years.

As many of you out there may have already experienced at L'Eroica events, Bianchi bikes are pretty popular, with "Celeste bicycles" to be found everywhere. Despite that popularity, they are terrifically sought after amongst collectors and vintage bike lovers around the globe.

So to no surprise the headset reminds a bit of the old 'Campione del Mondo' models.
