Bianchi TSX: what fork do i need?
Hello friends.
I just bought a mid 90's Bianchi Reparto Corse TSX/UL and i'm wondering which fork should i get for it.
It came with a wrong Bianchi Air fork (in fact there's nothing original on the bike except the frame) so i'm trying to track what is the original fork for it, or at least, what is the closest alternative.
Also, i know the frame is TSX tubing, but how about the forks? Were they made of the same tubing or forks follow a different category?

As to originality…… these were, at least I the U.S. market,available frame only. The fork is a generic Columbus Bianchi used on most frames in that era.

Thanks, that helps!
I was also thinking of a campagnolo group to look for, and i see chorus is a good option.
Btw, mine is a violet color with the same scheme as that red/wine one (silver lettering and painted rear dropout). Do you know from what year is this catalog?

They are both US market catalogs the white background is 1995 and the other is 1996.
