Hello All. There was a discussion among friends awhile back regarding the color of the Bianchi Specialissima from the 60s. I had thought that they were availible in Celeste, were they?
It seems that most of the Specialissimas seen are black, candy green and perhaps white.
It was determined that the Celeste bikes from that era were
TEAM BIKES, kinda like the old raliegh Pro and the Team Professional. The
Bianchi Team bikes did not have a headtube badge, no chrome bands (which may
have appeased American tastes) on the seattubes.
Any
additional thoughts would be most welcome.
