It's a beautiful bike that is a bit over priced at $800. I have owned a Bianchi in the past and the frame showed the attention to detail that Bianchi puts into their bikes. I am curious to find out if this is bike is manufactured in Italy or another Asian country. If it's manufactured in Italy Bianchi usually touts it on their frames.

A flipped north road bar would give it a really vintage look, like the Pashley guvnor but obviously more racy. Also, it has to have a rear brake with a freewheel in the Uk and most European countries, that is the law. Is the rear fork drilled for a brake if it isnt it is definitely sending out the wrong signals. I ride a fixie with a front only but wouldnt go out without a rear the front fork gives away the fact that this is a mass produced taiwanese frame, but the whole thing is very very nice.
