Thanks! Yeah I lucked out on the color and the size. I like that this green is a shade darker than the usual Celeste.

must say the kilo tt fork with the bianchi is an interesting choice, makes it stand out in the overly large crowd of bianchis

Thanks! Glad you like it. First, the frame had no fork. Then, I decided I didn't like the style of the stock uni-crown fork. So I looked for a good replacement fork with a 28mm offset and a flat crown. A Kilo TT was the only one that fit that description. The only feature I don't like is the fender eyelets.

yeah those eyelets would look a little funny, especially since the seat stay doesn't have any. Have you thought about hack sawing them off

eypista says:
Yes, I'll hacksaw them off soon. Will need to patch it with paint. Lucky it's black - easier to match than the green.
