Celeste painted dreams

Ive always liked Bianchis but never really loved them. Until recently that is. No other manufacture currently has quite sofull or so long a history. From the first equal wheel sized bike( the safety bike that we all ride today) and the first bicycle with rubber tires to countless TDF victories and world mountain bike championships. Girardango, Coppi, Gimondi, Zanchi, and Pantani are some of the names that we all recognize as champions and they all rode Bianchis. Here in the U.S of A  Bianchi doesnt have the huge following that they enjoy in Europe. And  thats a bit of a shame really.  Celeste is certainly a unique color, but as you spend more time around it it seems to become irresistible. And the bikes them selves! Heres my opinion on the Oltre their highest end bike. Of all the "superbikes" we have in the store I think its the finest. It's  so desperately pretty. From every angle it is a svelte perfectly per portioned dancer in heels and a celest colored ball gown. Absolute perfection. It is the one I would ask out to the dance. I love it and I have never even ridden it.
I think every true bike enthusiast should own a Bianchi at some point. Its like an Alfa Romeo for a car enthusiast, you arent a real one until youve had one.While few of us can afford an Oltre we do have many Bianchis that are affordable. New for this year is the Impulso an all aluminum road bike for about 1500$. Its a great introduction into to a world full of celeste colored dreams.
