Tod sez: snip< another question.. I picked up a bianchi the other day.. just trying to find a date.. appears to be a lower end racing bike of the 60's.. just looking for a model or date if anybody can help.. I also posted some pics.. I could not resist it.. the color and the fact that there is hardly a chip on the paint.. just the decals have somewhat came off.. it looks as though it has been hiding in somebody's basement all this time.. equiped with a 3ttt pivo looking stem.. Gnutti skewers with bianchi branded hubs with Nisi moncaleri tubular rims.. universal extra brakes and levers.. simplex front der and a campagnolo valentino rear.. nervar sport cranks... not a feather light bike but not a tank either.. had not problem toasting fellas at the park with the 5000 dollar carbon fiber rigs at the park yesterday on it :)> end snip
Wow, that's in great shape! I sold these at Bixby Knolls Bicycle Shop in Long Beach, CA in 1972. I remember the model name as "Rekord" and we sold quite a few of them. Nice rider with no-name tubing. Weighed about 24 pounds with tubulars. It was the cheapest tubular equipped bike we sold, less than the Peugeot PA-10.
