Overview
The Bianchi Reparto Corse represents the pinnacle of Italian bicycle engineering, crafted inside Bianchi's revered racing division where machines for the professional peloton were born. Dating from the early 1990s, this distinguished thoroughbred is constructed from ultra-rare Columbus Minimax Nivacrom steel tubing—specifically shaped with cold-drawn ovalized cross-sections to maximize lateral rigidity and power transfer while dramatically cutting weight.
Finished in the world-famous iconic Bianchi Celeste with a mirror-chromed front fork and chromed drive-side chainstay, the bicycle is equipped with a complete, period-correct Campagnolo Athena 7-speed groupset. Highlights include powerful dual-pivot calipers, ergonomic aero brake levers, silky down-tube index shifters, and an Athena crankset. Complemented by an ITM Eclypse quill stem, ITM Super Italia Pro-2 drop bars, robust Ambrosio Extra Aero Dynamic clincher rims laced to Athena hubs, plush Vittoria Rubino 28c tires, and a Selle Italia Turbo Matic saddle, this machine is a museum-worthy Italian collector's piece ready for high-speed tarmac or vintage gran fondos.
