Bianchi Specialissima X4 1980s Classic Road Bike

Probably one of the finest and most beautiful steel racing bicycles ever produced, the Bianchi Specialissima X4 is a limited edition of the famous Bianchi Specialissima model. Bianchi produced the Specialissima X4 for six years between 1986 and 1991, as a development of the "Centenario 1985" model.

This exemplar has been professionally refurbished in the iconic Celeste Colour. The pantographs on the frame are filled with gold colour, a special feature of the X4 Model. The frame is made of superb Columbus SLX tubes and shows an iconic blade-shaped fork and rear triangle.

Beside that, the main features of this Bianchi Specialissima X4 are:

• - the rounded style top eye joints
• - the Silva brake bridge with the pantographed writing "X4" on the right side
• - the internally routed rear derailleur and brake cables
• - the engraved head tube

On the technical side, this Bianchi Specialissima is equipped with a high-end Campagnolo C-Record Groupset, mostly from the 1st generation. The rear derailleur is a 1st Genration C-Record V2 with the shield engraving. The front derailleur is also from the first generation. The shield engraving is also found on the first generation C-Record Groupset. The Brakes are Super Record V2 calipers with Cobalto Stones. The Seatpost, Friction Shifters and Seatpost are also C-Record.
