Bianchi - Vía Nirone 7 - Bicicleta de carretera - 2006

The Legend of Bianchi Celeste

The Bianchi colour has remained unique and unmistakable, travelling through both space and time: from the pale blue that accompanied the flights of the Campionissimo Fausto Coppi, to the latest incarnations blending shades of celeste and fluorescent green. Whether you stop by the roadside or at a café, watching the professional peloton pass by or the last group of commuters heading home from work, if you catch a glimpse of Celeste, you know it's a Bianchi. You don't even need to get closer; just that color alone is enough, a shade you feel like you've known forever.

Model Overview & Technical Specs

This marvellous Bianchi Via Nirone 7 Coast to Coast (C2C) perfectly embodies the heritage of Edoardo Bianchi’s first historic shop in Milan.
The frame engineering is a remarkable point of reference thanks to its high performance-to-weight ratio.

Shipping & Pickup Terms
