UpCycle-034 il Pirata

Highlights

A Bianchi should be Celeste. This one was not and it was ugly. We searched for the famous Marco Pantani paint schemes on his Tour de France bikes for a hommage to this legend of cycling. The late Il Pirata was the greatest climber in a dark age of substance abuse in the peloton.
