>>Hello All,
>>
>> Not a new Dan Brown novel. Has anyone broken the Bianchi serial number codes?
>> Specifically bikes from the 50s and 60s, like the Campione del mondo.
>>
>> I recently became the proud owner of what the former owner thinks is a 1954. The serial number is 526792.
>> Whats the serial number on your 50s Bianchi and the alleged date of manufacture?
