I have a Bianchi Grizzly, Celeste - original RM-20 wheels and Deore Components
Serial number:
JS 763084
Anyone have a clue?
Thanks!
Your Grizzly was manufactured in Japan during October 1987 and therefore should be a 1988 model. The known serial number formats for approximately 120 Asian manufacturers (and non-Asian brands contract manufactured in Asia, including Bianchi), have been documented and consolidated in a single for sticky thread for ease of use and location.
