Wow - some stunning Bianchi's.
Otis' Specialissima, Rekord and Super Pista reflect a wonderful collection of the marque, and, luckily, their in the hands of a true collector.
Family belly's Super Corsa frame is simply brilliant. The '53 frame does look like a '53 frame. It is very similar to my '54 frame without the chrome. Bianchi did kit their 50's bikes out with some special bits and pieces - 'B' marked nuts, engraved cranks and hubs, etc,etc. Very difficult to source these days.
Yellowjeep - great looking bike that looks well set up for riding.
Kemmer's mid 80's bike with many original parts - someone (small) is going to get a bike they will be very proud of and his other deep blue Bianchi - looks Japanese and 90's - but its a Bianchi and that definately alters the way you feel when riding your bike - its a Bianchi!!!
Thanks guys, really interesting stuff.
