Sweet Bianchi. I love the Celeste color and the 8 speed Campy Ergo drivetrain.

What a great story about the bike. Bless Your Heart and Happy Riding! I can see how people really latch on to a bicycle, especially Bianchi.

Beautiful bike. Beautiful story. My father's been struggling with MS for some time, so it's particularly heartening to come across this story... and, in the small world department, I grew up on LI, too. Really, though... Gorgeous bike. Those tires. That tape. That steel in that shape.

Great Bianchi. It really is a genius? I have never seen a genius with this '95-'96 fork paint scheme and at the same time with lugged frame. It is possible that a TSX or EL?

Always wondered myself. Reciept says Genius, sticker too, shop that assembled it also. But anyway I won it from Bicycle Guide magazine so the price was right. My bucket bike. Still wonderful.
