Listers,

I think I have seen Bianchis of a similar vintage on ebay that had 54 CM (or longer) top tubes in the same short (51-52 CM c-c) seat tube length.

Was I imagining things, or did Bianchi make road frames with longer TTs than Dave's very nice frame?

Here is the link to Dave's recent auction:

http://ebay.com/<blah>

If I were looking for long-TT Bianchis (51-2 CM seat x 54-or-longer TTs) in my short-frame sizing, what year(s) or model(s) should I keep an eye out for?

Thanks,

Dave,

Your Bianchi frame just oozes patina and history. Nice photos, and a nice job of preserving the frame in its original glory.

I would be sorely tempted if the TT were 1-2 CM longer....

Thanks for the eye candy!
