For your bidding pleasure, we have an oldie but goodie Bianchi Road Bike "Campione?" complete with trainer & racing pedals.
I know little to nothing about these bikes, other than that they are expensive, and highly sought after. I am not a cross country biker, nor am I a racer. I happened upon this beauty through a friend who was a Tour de France hopeful. It has been on the trainer for about 3 years, only because she bought a newer one.

Now, being that I know little to nothing about these bikes, the bike will come to you as is w/no returns. I think it may need new rubber and gears. If you don't like the Red handle covers, you are free to change their color once you get it.

If you need any information about the bike i.e. what version it is, email me and tell me where I could find it on the bike and I will be more than happy to let you know.

Since when do women ride in the TdF?

There is a 'womens TdF that is also contested...

In 1984 the Women's Tour de France was inaugurated, with a shorter course being created. This was to become known as the Tour of the EEC in 1990, only to revert to its old name in 1992.


And a link in French to it's actual web site.

Thanks for the URL. I have two daughters so I've been trying to find info on women in racing.
