Just finished up my winter project, a (86-87?) Bianchi Super Grizzly. Swapped the front fork from a 1984 Grizzly because of the abomination that it came with. Built it up with a mish-mash of new, parts bin, and used parts that I thought were cool. At some point I might swap the rear derailleur for something all silver to match a little better, but I don't hate it as-is. The rear clearance was super tight so I had an unplanned first experience with dimpling chainstays, which was interesting… It's definitely not anything close to a period correct build but I had fun with it!

Wow I was loving scrolling through your pics! I really enjoyed your build and then I got to the last picture and I almost dropped my phone. Well done, you transformed the bike in a beautiful way.
Suuuper nice
Love this build! Great work bud
Absolutely stunning! Did you make the decals?
So sick. Love the color scheme. And can never go wrong with Celeste.
Nice!! Did you repaint it?
I would like to purchase your bicycle
fffff this is literally perfect. so clean!! the brass and gold = dreamy.

Awesome, clean and fun build! Love that minty Bianchi colorway!
Brown and light turquoise just go so well together, beautiful bike
Looks great!
Absolutely beautiful! Makes me want to drag out my neglected 84 Griz (original) and give it some love
Man, I’ve seen or owned a couple of these but wow, this some bespoke artwork. Nice job!
Turned out great
Perfect
Very nice I have a 90’s made in japan Bianchi Back Street the looks identical has the original slopped fork though.
I think your front brake pads are on backwards
That’s lovely. Specs on the shifters pls.
That’s a beauty!!
Nicely done! That’s tight.
What rear brakes are those? I have similar mounts on a peugot I’m fixing up.
Love the older crowned forks. My bianchi osprey has a lugged frame but the fork is welded unicrown, ugh.
Looks minty fresh to me. Well done OP! 🫡
Stunning
Looks incredible, what Shift lever is that?
So so so good. Wow.
I have a late 80s Grizz, but the fork is absolutely Celeste and not red
