Well, its not new...an 80 or 90's Bianchi. My partner and I refurbished it. We took a Build-a-Bike class this summer. The first bike we built they sold. Then they gave us credit toward buying a bike and all the free used parts and shop time we want. We would work on it a couple of hours each Sunday. We overhauled the headset and bottom bracket, cleaned and lubbed the wheel hubs, strung new cables and housing, adjusted the derailers, put a new chain on, as well as tires and tubes.
And of course the handle bar tape.
Its my patner's new bike, "so that I can keep up with you", as she would say. We have been on the maiden voyage and hopefully more this weekend.
The name of the bike is BubbleBee.

New bike makes it home!
