Eric J’s Mid-80s Bianchi

Posted

I’m pleased to present this black Bianchi sent in by Eric J. Any idea on the model of this one?

Got it at a yard sale 2 weeks ago. I saw it in the corner and almost turned into a lineman to get to it. It rides like the day it was born. It has shimano 600 all around, original suede seat, and it running old Continental ultra sport tire 700x28c that are in great condition. I want to name it maybe you guys can help. Thanks for looking.

    Eric I don’t know what you are going to name the bike but you can start calling yourself “Lucky.”

    First of all that is a beautiful road bike you have there Eric I am sure it rides as smooth as it looks. My best guess would be a 80’s something Bianchi Limited. Go to http://www.birota.ru/catalogues/index.php?g=b&b=27 and check out the 1986 catalog. The limited came with: “Shimano Ultegra 600 SIS Component group Tange double butted chrome-moly frameset..”

    Wow. Sweet! How come I never see bikes that nice at any of the garage sales I hit?

    As for names, how about something Italian: Lorenzo, Marcello, Giovanni?

    I think it’s a mid 80s Bianchi sport SX. There is one on ebay but in red.

    How about Vincenzo, which I understand to mean “Conqueror” in Italian. You can nickname it “Vin” or “Vinnie”. You have got to love yard sales … especially after this find!
