Did Bianchi ever use 650?
Hello,
I was just wondering if bianchi ever used 650c tire on any of their bikes. Being a short person in love with bianchi, I have been thinking about getting older models but they do not seem to get smaller than 49cm. Did they ever used 650s before they started making 44cm frames? I am a newbie to so much of the bianchi history is beyond my scope.
Thankie

The answer is "yes". I am borrowing a Bianchi Eros 49cm with 650c wheels for my daughter. My cycling buddy who is lending it to me said that it was about 4-yrs old.

Went on a club ride about a month ago, and a lady was riding a 650 Bianchi. I'm certain it was no more than a couple of years old, but I really didn't inquire. It was a good looking bike, low spoke count wheels so I assume fairly high-end but I didn't really look any close than that.
