I've been commuting on an old Panasonic ATB, and although it's been fun riding over potholes and hopping curbs with reckless abandon, I wanted something a little lighter. Nabbed this Bianchi from FB marketplace, and man, I am already in love…

That looks great! How wide are those tires?
Right right, THAT’S what clean Paselas look like. I gotta wash my bike…
This a true cafe cruiser, city ripper. Like i love the 26ers for comfort but a tiny 700 slices through a city
Looks awesome! How do you keep your chain from flying off the front chainring over bumps? I had that problem with a 1x setup using old / track parts.
Not sure what year this is, but I recall some of these bianchi randonneurs had a recall due to fork failure
Holy smokes I love this. Gives me lots of ideas for how to make my old Bianchi less of a road bike
very nice.
