Help with old steel Bianchi

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

Let's see - a vintage chorus, is it a 90's chorus? I would put that one on the colnago steel. And the centaur is the black one correct? it fits the EV3 well, but... This one would look really nice with the silver veloce if you can find one - the one with the skeleton brakes. 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?

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.)

Italian bikes are addictive, you cannot just buy one...

LOL - that is what I keep telling my husband but he is not convinced.
