BIANCHI Crono Reparto Corse 26″/28″- authentic bike of O.PELLICCIOLI, Team Gatorade (1993) – 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.

Bianchi’s Reparto Corse (Bianchi’s Race Department) facility hand built frames for their professional team. Back in 1993 they supplied Team Gatorade Chateaux d’AX and Team GB – MG Maglificio with their best bikes. Team Gatorade had a few famous riders on board like: G.Bugno, L.Fignon, M.Scirea, I.Gotti, O.Pelliccioli…
