You don't need to be a champ to ride on a beauty. As from today I'm the proud owner of a Bianchi Infinito, the frame of this beauty only weighs 1080gr. The color is the original Bianchi Celeste. A turquoise also known as Bianchi Green. Myths say Celeste is the color of the Milan sky. Did you know that Bianchi is the world's oldest bicycle-making company still in existence, it was founded in Italy in 1885 by Edoardo Bianchi. It produced cars from 1900 to 1939 and motorcycles from 1897 to 1967. Bianchi has been associated for 50 years with the Italian Tour de France winner, Fausto Coppi. Okay maybe I don't have the same legs as those winners had, but I have a bike as beautiful as they had.

The result is a collaboration between Nick Wooster and Leffot. Two classic English country styles, the brogue cap toe and wingtip, are paired with rugged camouflage suede, and triple leather soles. Alfred Sargent, the well-known maker of English shoes for more than 100 years, makes both styles in England. They can be yours coming Fall, if you sign in @ Leffot and pay that 700 bucks.
