One for the frame builders possibly Freecycle : Nice old Bianchi frame and fork .... knackered and bent but with nice lugs.

Have had an old Bianchi frame sitting in the shed for many years now thinking I might be able to use some of the lugs if i ever did a frame building course, those days are long past so wondered if anybody wants this old frame and fork.

Was found on the street stripped and jumped on 10 or so years ago

I really don't know if it's worth anyone brazing and removing the lugs, is it worth the time and effort I don't know but a complete set of bianchi lugs brev campag dropouts fork and rear

FREECYCLE
Collection E15 Stratford

Bianchi frame & fork

Some lugs

fork crown a little rough but had embossed bianchi eagle / logo

bb with frame looking likes it's fully chromed underneath, the paint has come off due to deformation of the tubes

Dibs can braze this up!

gone, pending collection

that is lovely..looks good and big too

2nd dibs if krwski doesn't get around to it

Keep us updated.. itll be good to see the repairs.

Which tubes were bent? looks fine in photos!

sadly it's most of them, i think the chain stays are the only ones that are straight and true
i thought the rear triangle was good but one of the seat stays has a bend in it, not huge but it's there, forks don't point in the same direction it's all slight but enough to total the frame

size is a 59, when i saw it lying on the street near downham road i thought i'd won the lottery, always lusted after an older chrome & celeste bianchi, it looks a higher end model to as it's chromed underneath i think that is a sign of a better quality frame ? possibly ?

managed to get the dura ace headset and bottom bracket off it though, albeit italian threaded

hopefully the owner who had it stolen isn't reading this !

frame now gone
