Bianchi Road bike serial number 2L04875
 

Hello,
I found an old Bianchi Road Bike (serial number 2L04875)... Clearly hadn't been ridden in decades (dry rotted tires; copious light rust on frame), etc.
But its lines caught my eye driving by (my neighbor put it out on the street - we call it 'FreeBay' in our neighborhood). I'd say its before 1980: Metal frame tag says 'Made in Italy': decals gone so don't know model...

Does anyone have an idea how old / what model it might be?

Thanks!

Joe Parse

Correction: "Made in Italy" is decal, not metal tag... Seat Post is 26 mm OD; CamPanolo shifters.

If the serial number is stamped into the front of the upper head lug, then it is should be a 1973 model. If you measured the post diameter with calipers and it's 26.0mm, that sounds like a lightweight hi-tensile steel tubeset which, in conjunction with the Campagnolo shifter levers, make a Bianchi Rekord the leading candidate. A Rekord would be corroborated by the presence of a Campagnolo Valentino Extra rear derailleur.

Bianchi Volpe. BS 608527 (19)
 

I have a lovely old Bianchi Volpe I'm trying to touch up and was curious to learn more about it. It's a darling orangish-pink color, serial code BS 608527 with '19' written on the line below it. It has an 'Edoardo Bianchi' logo on the front.

Good Morning and welcome to the forums. I believe you have an '86 'Sizzling Peach' Volpe. Does it look like this one? https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...3a34c0554b.jpg

'86 Volpe undergoing a post purchase overhaul

Yes! That's it exactly, although yours is in markedly better shape. :)

Stripping the components off and cleaning the frame then giving it a good waxing, I use automotive paste wax, can do wonders for it. The finish on this was OK but very sun faded. This is proving to be a great rider for the bumpy roads around here. It has gone through several changes but I think I finally have it dialed inhttps://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...2267f6cf40.jpg

1987 or 1988 Bianchi Brava
 

I am a Bianchi noob, and I am looking at purchasing a Bianchi Brava in pretty good shape. Shimano 105 10 speed. "Italian Red" Shimano cantilever brakes.
There's a question if it is a 1987 or 1988. The SN is "IS761045"
Can someone tell me what the value for that model might be (a fair price for a clean unmolested example), and what year it might be?
And is it a Japanese frame?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Your frame was manufactured in Japan during September 1987 and therefore is probably a 1988 model. If the logo incorporates a triangle before or after the Bianchi name, then it is a 1988 model. I assume you mean caliper brakes, as opposed to cantilever brakes, as the Brava did not come with the latter. Assessment without pictures is meaningless but assuming average condition, in an average market, I'd value it at ~$225-$250.

Hello T-Mar - thank you for the info! Yes, I meant caliper brakes.
I would post pictures (tried to), but don't have enough juu-juu on Bike Forums yet to be allowed to do so. :-S

I appreciate your help - thanks!

Can u help idwntification sn H2L00028
this is bianchi???

Maybe. The serial number format is consistent with Hodaka of Taiwan, a known Bianchi source, though they also contract manufactured many other brands. If it's a Bianchi, it should be 1993 model.

tough thing
 

...bianchi serial numbers

Is that the one posted on FB Steel is real? that is a super clean bike.

ahh ok tmar.. if its not 2002 model tmar?

Based on the serial numbers I've collected. Bianchi only appears to have used Hodaka as a source in the very late 1980s to early 1990s. Of course, if it's not a Bianchi it could extend beyond that time range. Brand and models of components would help to establish the decade, assuming they are OEM. Pictures preferred.

yes I found it in the 1993 catalog as you say. thank u tmar. u help me againt

Yes it is the one on Steel is Real. And yes, it looks pretty sweet!
Someone is going to get a nice bike - unfortunately my stable is too large at this time and I am unable to move on it.

Hi

Stumbled on this thread. Was hoping that someone could help me with my Bianchi. I bought this a while ago from an Italian guy that went to Italy for a holiday, fell in love with the idea of a bike, bought it home and never rode it... then sold it to me. I *think* that the frame is late 90's. It has Columbus tubes and using a translator have found that it is double butted cromoly and made in Corsica. There is sticker 'campione del mondo' - not sure if that is a statement or a model !
The frame is the Celeste colour, has the brake cable running through the top tube and the downtube transitions to an oval shape where it joins the lug on the bottom bracket. No other lugs.
All components are Campy - Wheels are Zonda but need to do some more cleaning to acurately ID the hubs. Derailleurs (8 speed) and brakes are Mirage. Headset and cranks are campy as well.

For the life of me I cannot find a serial number anywhere. I even removed the cable guide beneath the bottom bracket. The rear dropout has Bianchi stamped on it but no serial that I could see.

Anyone able to date it ? I know that the groupset is down the pecking order, but am interest to know where the frame sits/

Any ideas on where the serial could be ?? I like recording serials in case of theft...

I have tried to post pics but being a newbie, am not allowed to add attachments.

Any comments appreciated.

cheers

Welcome to the forum. Eight speed Campagnolo Mirage, if OEM, would place it 1995-1998. The Zonda wheelst was also introduced in 1995 and still available in 1998. The Campione del Mondo decal is probably a reference to 1995, when reigning road world champion Luc LeBlanc was riding a Bianchi for the Le Groupement team. The down tube being oval at the bottom bracket is indicative of a Superset II frame design. It employed the oval end to the down tube, in conjunction with a heavier gauge down tube and chains stays, to increase lateral stiffness at the bottom bracket.

The fact that it is an Italian model complicates identification for most members, who are American based, as the European models and names often differed from those offered stateside. During this period Bianchi USA had three Mirage equipped models. The Campione d'Italia (1995-1997) was a lugged, steel, racing model, being replaced by the TIG welded Campione for 1998. The Eros (1996-1998) was also lugged steel but sports geometry and spec'd with a triple crankset. None used the Zonda wheelset. The wheels may be aftermarket or unique to the Italian market. Hopefully, there are some European members who can add further information.

Hi Y'all!
This is my first post, so I'm hoping this is the right place. I'm an old guy who is just getting reacquainted with riding after a 30 year hiatus. I recently found a Bianchi Campione (decal on top tube) which was originally found in a dumpster behind the owner's apartment building 10 years ago. After riding it occasionally for the past 10 years, through Craigslist, he passed it on to me for $125.00. The rear cassette is 7 speed, calipers are Shimano RX-100, derailleurs have no identifying marks. I am hoping someone here can help me identify what year and model it is, and if possible, let me know if the number below the BB is in fact the serial number. I am not an expert, just a beginner in field of Bianchi appreciation.
Serial Number is:

H2C29218

Any help with the identification of this bike is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum. Your Bianchi was manufactured in March 1992 by Hodaka of Taiwan. The presence of Shimano RX100 components confirm a 1992 Bianchi Campione model. The tubeset is Tange Infinity and the original MSRP was $650 US.
