Bianchi, reportedly the earliest bike manufacturer still in business today! They have adjusted to the times and the needs of each decade , and have earned a loyal following. The 80's Bianchi bikes are true classics. The Bianchi Celeste color being one of the most memorable trademarks , reportedly was named after Princess Celeste (or Queen Celeste) for whom they designed and built a bike and painted Her Highness' bicycle this custom color and named it Celeste Green! This is a very nice frame (in need of a 1986 Mondiale fork. I'm being told that this is a 1986 Mondiale model by an E-bay Community Member. Thanks for your input, there is so little info about identifiers or serial numbers online! The fork should be slightly more yellow (rich) in color than today's Celeste Green and have a very slight frosting of blue pearl (as does this frame easiest to see in sunlight). The fork also should offer a recessed brake mount (as does this frame. There are no dings to the tubing (but the mark at the center of the top tube caused by a cable housing could be called a poc). There are a few areas of chips to the paint that go down to the metal. Most notably are the following: Chips on the right hand rear seat tube stay Worn off paint along the path of the rear brake cable (including where it turns in from the right to the cable guides Some missing paint around the bottom of the head tube lug (adjacent to where headset cup will fit) Dual chips under the seat tube lug apparently from a frame pump Also notably there are NO sweat mark spots on the bottom of the top tube. Often the sweat from a rider will remove paint and cause rust to the underside of the top tube on a vintage ride. If left unchecked this can ruin the bike (and this is not the case here). Please consider the photos part of the description, and I will try more diffuse lighting soon for more detail. SEAT TUBE: 59.5 CTC or 61cm Center to Top (and 61 stamped on BB Shell) TOP TUBE: 58cm CTC HEAD TUBE: 178mm TUBING: Columbus DROPOUTS: Campy REAR SPACING: 126 to 127mm suitable for 6 speed and 7 speed possibly with a custom built wheel BRAZE ONS: Downtube Shifter Bosses, Front Derailleur Hanger, Dual Bottle Cage Boss Threads, BB cable guides, Rear Derailleur Cable Stop & Pump Pip inside head tube PANTOGRAPHS: BB SHELL and Seat Stay Caps (as well as "B" on downtime lug) THREADING: Italian (both sides to the right) Serial Number: C420 61 (referring to size) Many of the photos need to be re-taken under a more diffuse light for best sharpness. She needs a little love , but will make a beautiful bike! Enjoy!
