SIZE 56/7 - I'm 5'11, fits nice.
It's lovely, it's 90's, it's a Bianchi.
Me and my friend restored this over many hours- it had a seized seatpost, tarnished chrome and it did not function.
I'm not entirely sure which model of frame it is - we know it is from the 90's, and is very similar to both that of the genius and slx models. It certainly has Columbus tubing - but the sticker has fallen off at some point. Anyway, it is a beautiful frame with some very nice details- it certainly wasn't a basic frame.
Since, we have restored the chrome, stripped it to the frame, greased everything and cleaned everything thoroughly, then put it back together with new cables and bar tape. Everything else is original - unfortunately the bar tape isn't the best choice but it is what we had - and if you are buying this bike you will definitely want to take it off and switch the brakes to European style...
The only thing really holding it back from being a weekend shredder is the rear tub - where some of the sidewall is peeling, but it still holds air and it still rideable... We just wanted to keep it original.
Other than that it rides like a dream...
The spec is pretty obvious but let me know if you want any specifics.
We can sell it with the disc wheel of the same age for and extra £100.
We are looking for £1000 but am open to offers.
Any questions don't hesitate!
