We all know what the favorite color is in this forum...CELESTE!

But is there such a thing as too much Celeste on bike?

I'd have to draw the line when someone has not only the all-celeste frame, but throws in matching bar tape, saddle, bottle cages, cable housing and tires, and then scrounges up a jersey, helmet, shoes and gloves to top it all off. Celeste is best when set off by some other hue, like yellow or a cobalt blue.

Too much on this pupster? I think a so.

Absolutely not! I don't particularly like the tape all the way to the stem, but that's not a fault of the color. Does/did Brooks make a Celeste saddle? - TF

I think the best thing about the celeste green is that it's classic. That's why I plan to limit the green to the frame (with chrome fork, seatstays and chainstays) and possibly the bar tape. It just looks more old-school that way to me, which is why I bought it.

The only reason I bought this bike to convert to fixed gear was the color of the frame/fork/saddle/cables/bar tape. otherwise I would have chosen something different.
I am on the lookout for a celeste under-the-seat bag. Anything else celeste? I could do tires, but that would about double the budget of this thing!

On some other bike I see how maximum celeste might not be maximum aesthetics, but this is a little project..

edit: I do not own any celeste clothing! I think that looks a bit lame/roadie.

Well, you're certainly thorough.... :D

I love Bianchi's,and celeste is my color of choice, but I think that too much is NOT a good thing. You have to off-set Celeste with some other shades for it to really look good.

My 2002 XL EV2 with a some-what obscure Olympic paint scheme...............(that "loose" cable running along side the rear brake cable is for my rear wheel computer for trainer use).

Is that the mini-metal flake celeste on your frame?

Hello,

Not sure what "mini-metal flake" is...never heard that exact name. It is a "pearlescent" finish. What ever it is it has been very, very durable. No cracking, and is very chip resistant in the 3-years iv'e owned it. The finish looks virtually like new.

Best regards

here's proof that Bianchis can still be pretty even without celeste
