(Larry, sorry that it was only "nearly".) It's even possible that there is still an example of a celeste, Japanese Bianchi hidden in one of the College Park/Mount Airy warehouses. (And who knows where else...) I think it's a mistake to think that Bianchi had some reason to make the prospective purchaser think that these bikes were not real Bianchis. After all, they are in the business of selling bicycles, irrespective of where they are actually produced. Regards, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia
