For Sale: Bianchi Sloping Frame Fixed Gear Bike

Think bianchi used to put a big fat B in their lugs, leaf sounds more colnago

anything like this ?

Even Mercian use a cloverleaf (of sorts) on their frames - just to cast a little more doubt...

and the pics

Just to complicate things slightly what about this then?
Built by Ellis-Briggs of Shipley near Bradford in about 1981, I sold it to my mate Kurt (not his real name of course) some years later who coincidentally turned up on it at Technical Towers last night. So the provenance of my Ellis-Briggs is known; its not a Bianchi, its not a Colnago but it has got cloverleaf cutouts.

No, Thats a Bill Hicks of Batley.

note the lugs on the cognago are totally different from the ones on the EB and Faux Bianchi

is that a cloverleaf or is it a club? is this a clue? were you all red herring'd by the clover aspect..... oooooooh

YouTube - Club Chocolate Biscuit Commercial

a friend of mine says he once saw one of the staff members buying bikes offa the crackheads at sunday market and selling them for cash money later that day, would explain all those frames out back in varying degrees of health

i posted this for jokes in the classified section a few days ago.

its seems the exact sort of frame the "sloping bianchi" is trying to be. It doesnt appear to have club/clover stamps.

Although im not sure of the significance, and its not worth caring about

The worst thing about blb is their beyond belief and extortionate prices... If it did not say free on the cover of fixed-mag they would probably sell it!

^lol

Dear Bianchi

To Whom It May Concern,

I have recently found that Brick Lane Bike, a shop in London, has been taking frames that have not been made by you, sending them to a frame builder to have them modified, and then painting them "Bianchi Green" putting Bianchi stickers on them, and selling them as a Bianchi. This could be a breach of your copy right, and you may wish to investigate it, and take action to stop it. Birck Lane Bikes website is http://bricklanebikes.co.uk/ This came to my attention via a thread on the London Fixed Gear forum the url for the relevant thread, (with pictures of the bike and a testimonial by an ex-mechanic at the shop) is http://www.londonfgss.com/thread7505.html#post212929

Cheers
me

so do i send it, next post decides

chris, bianchi green = celeste ;)
--and as in all second hand purchases ...Buyer Beware...
anyone who wants a decent bike that knows nothing should do one of 2 things, bring a mate who knows WTF they are doing or start reading

as for BLB rebadging for higher profit - not ideal, however loads of kids do it for their own esteem, ironically those they are looking to impress are ultimately bigger bike nerds who think its gay to do so.

It's a lovely looking bike, shame it's pants
