  • This doesn't look like an original paint job. The amount of logos and branding on the frame is highly suspicious - to me this suggest the frame has been repainted. A high quality Bianchi frame would carry a lot less logos and panthographed seat stay caps and fork crown. Seat post and stem were repainted to match the frame (probably at the same time as the frame). The rear derailleur carries Ultegra sticker, but it's not Ultegra derailleur .

    This may be a Bianchi frame, but it'd be very hard to determine. Photograph of the underneath of BB might shed some light.

  • My old bianchi carry the same amount of bianchi stickers, but mine isnt written upside down on the seattube so my guess is ”custom”

  • Surely Bianchi wouldn't make a dog shit like that?

  • Agree this is surely not the original paint job. Decals also new. And really don’t make much sense. So impossible to identify by that. It could be a Bianchi. But for sure not a high end frame. Just looking at the dropouts tells me that. Potentially a low end Bianchi. Mass produced. Maybe there are some serial numbers on it. But that would also be pretty much useless, because their records are poor and numbers often reused. Finally Bianchi or not does not make a big difference. Not something for collectors or serious Bianchi fans.

  • Definitely not Mavic wheels either

  • Front mech isn’t an Ultegra either. Way too many stickers on the bike, fork stickers are upside down, stuff like that. It’s probably not too bad a frame underneath all that (the top eyes are quite nice) but it’s not a Bianchi. It’s a half-decent frame that’s been cobbled together with a real mix of cheap parts (a Ritchey quill stem?!!! And the Mavic stickers on the hubs? GTF) and to me it looks a bit of a dog’s dinner.

  • The Bianchi Industrial sticker is a nice touch.

  • Thanks for all of you for the information , I just wasnt sure about it, never saw a bianchi like this . Have a good week everyone, and thank you for the info

  • "Fake" would be the best, maybe even too kind, term for this.

    Someone has gone to great lengths to sticker up all the parts as something they're not - the wheels are not Mavic, the mechs are not Ultegra…and I would put money on that frame not being a Bianchi!

  • Yeah , exactly what I though
    Thanks everyone:)

  • Fake Ultegra? That looks like someone bought a couple of sticker sheets of EBay and went crazy.
