Up for sale is a circa ~1994 53cm Bianchi lugged steel road frame.
It has been freshly repainted with a Celeste/Gold Pearl paint job. It is a lugged frame made of Columbus Thron double butted tubing with a slightly oval bottom tube. Brand new decals have been applied. Furthermore Columbus decals/head badge added under 3 layers of clear coat on the frame. The frame is in wonderful shape overall. It is ready to be built up with a period correct group set or a modern one should you so choose. Photos do not do the paint justice, as it really shines in the sun. I would love to keep this one for myself but it’s too small. This is a chance to own/ride a practically brand new lugged steel Bianchi frame, I would be very happy to see it go to a great home!
