Help with old steel Bianchi

Nice bike!
You really have a great stable of Italian bikes. I am sooooo jealous.:)

You may be able to get one at a very good deal - everyone upgrades the old mirage and veloce now to buy chorus or record, so the old groups are quite cheap. Then you can get nice mid-range campy wheels (vento or scirocco or khamsin or eurus), find some Bianchi tape - that is actually made by Deda but with the Bianchi logo ;) - and this lady will look gorgeous!
And to add the final touch: there's still some San Marco ponza saddles in Bianchi celeste around ebay, and if y'all have a Bianchi dealer in the area they can find you celeste Bianchi carbon waterbottle cages - just too pretty!
Yes, I like to build Bianchi's - can you tell? :D

It would be a silver Centaur gruppo. I think I have to agree - the classic Chorus gruppo will be stunning on the Colnago - it's lugged and chromed, so it has a more vintage look. The Centaur gruppo will just get me on the road sooner with the new Bianchi, and it should look okay - gonna put a Chorus headset on it too. I'll post pics of it as it comes together (later this summer - still working on getting the frame home.)
