Bianchi Specialissima Reparto Corse Road Bike mid 1970s

When it comes to vintage bicycles, there a few things as iconic as the famous "Bianchi Celeste". Indissolubly connected with the epic victories of Fausto Coppi and Felice Gimondi, the Bianchi paintwork has become a legend through the years.

Many of you out there may have already experienced, how L'Eroica events are literally packed with "celeste bicycles". They are - as proven through the popularity in such events - really sought after by vintage bike lovers around the globe.

This Bianchi Specialissima shows perfectly the typical Bianchi charm regardless its age. If you are looking for a genuine Bianchi bicycle to take part in cycling events as L'Eroica, this Celeste beauty won't disappoint you!

In the mid 1970s, when this bike was produced and sold, this model with Campagnolo Record parts was Bianchi's top model. This bike is even more special considering it is has been built by Bianchi's professional bike division, the Reparto Corse. The proof for being produced by the Reparto Corse division comes from the pantographed 'B' on the lugs, the lack of chromed stays - a typical feature of production Bianchi's Reparto Corse - and the unique cut-out under the bottom bracket.
The frame still has its original colour and gained a really sweet subtile patina. All parts have been checked and all bearings are running true. You can expect all the performance you need from such a top class vintage racer.

Handle with care: easy to fall in love with!
