Model General Information

This is a mid range Italian made Bianchi frame built sometime between 1989 to early 90's. I bought it NOS from a seller who didn't have much information about it. The decals, frame geometry and dimensions are identical to my 1987 Bianchi Giro except the tubing on this frame is Columbus SLX instead of the heavier Bianchi Formula tubing on the Giro. Bianchi only used these decals for 1-2 years. I recently saw an identical bike that was equipped with Shimano DuraAce components. The paint and workmanship on my Giros are far better than on this frame.

Brand Information(click to expand)

One of the giants in Italian frame building, Bianchi built (and still builds) bicycles ranging from top end racing machines down to commuter and city bikes. Bianchi's trademark color, Celeste, is nearly instantly recognizable by cyclists the world round. There are many stories about how the color came about, and the hue has changed some over the years.
