• Thanks for that, an interesting read.

    Still confused about the their whole naming logic, Superleggera, Specialissima, Super Corsa, Reparto Corse, Campione del Mondo, Rekord, etc. Seems very 'fluid'.

    Oddly, it says it's a 1980 catalogue, but then page 2 say 'Frame Dimensions 1982'.
    And then adds yet another raft of model names: Sport, Touring, Special, Pro, etc...

    Weight-wise, I'm waiting now for Colnagodaft to tell me it's definitely a Raleigh Night Burner, 'cos it's got the same number of wheels as one he's got in his workshop...

  • I favour your initial proposal of Specialissima, but what is strange is the CDM sticker on the seat tube.. edit: no it's not, as bianchi were champione del mondo in '73&74

    yeah, the catalogue's a bit mismatched, but interesting none the less

    clean, restore, build, ride, enjoy - it's a nice frame :)

  • It's definitely a Bianchi...

    How much did you pay for the bike, out of interest?
