Would like to know that this bike is worth approximatly.
Brakes are C-Record Delta. Other stuff I am not sure. Chorus/Athena/C-Record?
What model is it? I am new to Bianchi`s but it appears to be a higher quality model. Condition is very good.

Unfortunatly I don`t have more pictures. Hope somebody can help me.





Thanks,
Matt

Hello Maym036, sorry I was not online much yesterdayand never made here at all

great looking Bianchi and likely a Reparto Corse model for the european market. can you post a few more pics of the components and frame details? especially the brake bridge

the cranks look like Athena or maybe CdA. is the frame SLX? is there an RC on the right chainstay?


I suspect with good presentation on Ebay it may bring $1500 or more. you just need to find the correct buyer at the right time. thankfully it looks too small for me.

Thank you bianchigirl!
I just bought it. It is has TSX tubes.
It has a "B" pantographed in one of the headlugs and Bianchi on the Brake bridge as well as the near the seatstay lug.
Serial Number is E129.
The cablesrouting is insite of the right chainstay.

What does RC mean?

Oh and I got the original nos Bianchi pantographed stem with it as well as the aero seatpost with Concor Supercorsa Comfort Saddle.
I will post more pictures this weekend when I get time.

here a small teaser. The stem will take more effort to change.
I never thought bianchi`s can be that beautyfull.

Yes, that is one of the nicest Bianchis I have ever seen, that fork is awesome. RC means "Reparto Corse" ie: Racing Department or Racing Factory, a special section of the Bianchi factory that focused solely on the construction of the high end frames.

Is the crank perhaps a Croce D'Aune?

Nice find!

OH you just bought it? well then that makes determining the value easy what did you pay for it? you certainly woulf have paid 20eu less for it but would you have given 20eu more? 30 more? a TSX frame would date from around '92/93ish until to about 95 or so.

It doesn't mean what I wrote?

Yes, got it with the Raleigh Team I posted on an other forum. I got them both from the original owners. This was the women`s bike and not ridden much.
As for what I payed for I only say that I probably payed not enouth.
Here in my area lots of folks have old high end bikes but most of the people are not interested in them anymore and prefer to buy new carbon bikes instead of these beauties. Good for me

Croce d`aune is probalby right about the cranks.

There is a decal on the left chainstay saying " contruita nel reparto corse - Bianchi"

Very nice find. Certainly one of the best looking Bianchis from that period I've ever seen, both the paintwork and the condition.

Bumpage for more pics. Anything under 1k would be a steal. One question I just noticed my rear dropout is pantographed Bianchi (1994 el/os sachs ergo). Is yours?
