I was hit by a car a couple of months ago, and have exhausted my efforts to find a replacement frameset. It's a 1983 Bianchi Tipo Corsa 28t, 61 cm frame. The frame is quite bent, and no shops here think they can re-weld it. So I thought maybe someone here might be able to help track down one. I've been looking on ebay and some other places, but finding a frame that size has been difficult. I'm 6'2" so I'd probably be as happy with a 59 cm frame. If anyone can direct me or help me find one, I'd be very greatful.

Welcome to the forums and I hope the frame is the only thing that broke from car hit.

I'd post in the ISO thread at the top of the section. Some really helpful people here in locating a frame.

ISO and for trade thread part 5

thanks.... I'll try that

Hi Tom and welcome!

Are you looking to specifically replace with another tipo Corsa frame, or just a Bianchi in general? If you have any other criteria (color, tubing, etc) besides frame size that will be helpful for the group.

We are generally a resourceful bunch so you could find what you need surprisingly quick!

Another Tipo Corsa would be ideal, but a good steel frameset, celeste color in good condition would do. If I have to have it repainted, I might even consider that if the price is right.

Put up a WTB in the C&V for sale forum. You never know what might show up.
