90's Bianchi catalogs?
I've been searching unsuccessfully for Bianchi catalogs posted online (like the excellent Raleigh and Bridgestone ones). Does anyone out there know of such a site?
My first attempt: https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/216435-bianchi.html
Thanks.

Not to criticize the hard work of others in finding this info, but it's weird how none of the Japanese Bianchi catalogs mention the Eros, which I believe was made there. Did it go under a different name?

The Japanese site's catalogs are a blurry mess. Im looking for the following in high-rez for the Sprocket catalog app:
1992
1991
1990
1989 found the model spec sheet only
1988
1987 found on velobase
1982 found on velopages
1980 found on bulgier (someone pointed out one of the 1981's is printed '80)

Old thread. It's odd how hard it is to track down bianchi catalogs on the web. I'm trying to get some info on a bianchi equinox I picked up recently which I suspect is late 80s or perhaps early 90s.

I have an '89 catalog. Equinox is a cyclocross frame, Celeste only Tange Prestige Superset tubing. Deore XT group with barcons, triple chainring crank.

Anyone got a 1992 catalog? The links above don't work or don't have it. I'd love to be able to check out the geometry of my 1992 Eros.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Funny I almost replied 73 parallel just as goof but turns out that’s what it is for most sizes.
They were a great paint colors

I do love the paint, part of the reason I gave up on my search for a 1985 Miyata 912 or similar model of miyata with sport touring geometry. The Eros I picked up is in impeccable shape and the paint is just beautiful in the sun. Though, very thin, few layers, and chips easily
