BIANCHI X3 Crono 26″/28″, Campagnolo Super Record, 54cm (1986) – SOLD

Bianchi is the world’s oldest bicycle-making company still in existence, founded in 1885 by Eduardo Bianchi in Milan, Italy. No doubt, Bianchi is the pioneer of bicycle development since the beginning. They invented equal-sized wheels with pneumatic rubber tires in 1895, first bicycle ever featuring a cardan joint transmission in 1901 and front brake system in 1913.

Throughout Bianchi’s 130-year history, the Specialissima name has represented the pinnacle of the Italian legend’s road machine line-up. The ”Specialissima” was introduced in late 1950s as successor of famous ”Campione del mondo” model and remains Bianchi’s top model till today.

Proudly presenting another Bianchi‘s iconic racing machine, one of the earliest Bianchi’s 26″/28″ time trial bikes from mid 1980s. Stunning frameset is made of curved Columbus SL tubing featuring extraordinary details like aero-shaped seat stays, ‘B’ cut-outs on the head lug, aero forks among the others. Built with full pantograph Bianchi Campagnolo Super Record groupset, 3ttt Bianchi stem and handlebar, Selle Italia Bianchi saddle. No much words needed.
