Bianchi Campione del Mondo 1950s

When it comes to vintage bicycles, there are few colours as iconic as the famous "Bianchi Celeste". Forever associated with the epic victories of Fausto Coppi and Felice Gimondi, the Bianchi paintwork has become a legend of cycling history.

Vintage cycling events are always packed with celeste bicycles; they are some of the most desirable bicycles in the world of vintage cycling. Their popularity at events like these goes to illustrate the prestige of Bianchi and the desirability of some of their finest models.

If you have seen pictures of professional racers from the 1950s, riding a Bianchi bike - then you have most likely seen a Bianchi Campione del Mondo.
This gorgeous masterpiece was Bianchi's top model back then. It features the best parts you could get in the early 1950s:
The combination of headtube lugs and steering set is so amzingly beautiful that one can easily spend an hour just looking at that special detail. The shifting is a reliable and easy to handle Campagnolo Gran Sport. The brakes are the Universal Extra ones that were used by many professional riders. Everything looks magnificent. From the New old stock rims to the original Ambrosio cockpit.
The former owner had the frame refurbished so it is in very good condition.
This is certainly a bike for connoisseurs and people who are out for something really, really extraordinary.
