Wow really can see it, much more beefy frame than the steel (I assume). Is it carbon or injected aluminum? And those are some thin steel forks.

Top: Bianchi Sprint with 105 Di2 and ultegra pedals. Everything that can be carbon has been swapped to carbon (except the seat). I swapped out the stock parts for an integrated carbon RXL handlebar, ICANN 50mm aero wheels with TPU tubes, and carbon RXL seatpost. Went with wahoo elemnt 3 and radar for the computer. I shaved over 2lb with these upgrades and got it down to 17.7lb including pedals. Next plan is to get some good Pirelli tires.
Bottom: This thing is a heavy boy. A 1980s steel frame Bianchi Sport SX that I restomodded during the pandemic lockdowns. Shimano exage biopace drivetrain (original), Tektro brakes (the old Shimano ones were too weak), new Suntour wheels, continental Grand Prix classic tires, Fizik classic leather bar tape, cheap Amazon seat, MKS pedals. I also got the bike powder coated. Spent way too much fixing up [this bike I found for a hundred bucks.](https://imgur.com/a/RerM1Xe) But totally worth it. Puts a smile on my face and people constantly stop and stare/comment.

Oh man I think your new one would look even more cool if the saddle and handle bar tape matched. Nice bikes!

Congratulations and have a lot of fun.
I had a white Bianchi when I was a teenager. The age was somewhere in between the two. Old style shifter which needed some precision.
Didn’t use it as a racebike though, could carry crates of beer.
Unfortunately I do not have it anymore….

My wife: did you buy a new bike?
Me: no honey, just my same old celeste Bianci!
What a great picture. Enjoy!
