After a long battle with a stuck seat post and a slow wheel build, the Bianchi Alloro is complete. Originally it was painted celeste green but the custom pin-striping a previous owner applied is so unique I had to keep this paint job. I lifted the grime out of the paint with polishing compound and a little comet here and there.
Most of the components that came with it were usable. Everything just needed to be cleaned, rebuilt, and tuned-up. I did replace the saddle, seatpost, front rim, spokes/nipples, tires, and rear derailleur.
You can see it's original state here in Part I.
