This Bianchi ChromoLite Reparto Corsa (Made in Italy) frame has the specially
designed Mega Pro Downtube and comes with a matching Bianchi steel fork. This
frame measures 55cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the center of the
top tube (or 56cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the top
tube, or 57cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the extended
seat tube) with a 56cm top tube. The fork is a unicrown 1" threaded type. The
frame and fork have less than 300 miles on them...they are in great condition.

The frame and fork are painted a stunning metallic pearl Bianchi Celeste with
dark blue decals. The color is so pretty in the sunlight it almost seems as if
it is still wet! This version of the signature Bianchi Celeste color is much
richer and more appealing to most folks than the older flat Celeste color
Bianchi used on their frames. If you have not seen the new Bianchi Celeste
metallic pearl color scheme, you will be amazed at how pretty it is.

The frame is tig welded and made of Bianchi-engineered heat treated, double
butted Mega Pro steel tubing. The downtube is ovalized at the bottom bracket
shell for both stiffness when climbing and sprinting, and for strength. This
frame and fork were made in Italy by master craftsmen, and are a wonderful
testament to their bike building expertise.

The rear vertical dropouts that are 130mm wide. This frame has two sets of water
bottle bosses, a pump peg, and the rear brake cable is routed through split
stops at 7 o'clock on the top tube.

There are a few paint chips on this frame and fork from light use, but there is
no rust and it is in wonderful condition. All of the tubes and fork have been
treated on the inside with Boeshield T9 rust prevention spray. The paint under
the clear coat has a subtle veined-effect to it, but this was common with this
paint scheme. Also included is a new bottle of Bianchi Celeste touch-up paint.

The components are all high end as well. The brakes, cranks, 9 speed STI
shifters, derailleurs, bottom bracket, chain (new), cassette, and hubs are all
Shimano Ultegra. The headset is a Campagnolo Athena that was just repacked and
greased. The bike has Mavic Open Pro wheels, Thomson seatpost, Specialized
saddle, 3T stem, and Look-type pedals. The components all have less than 1200
miles on them.

This is a very nice looking and great riding bike at a fantastic price.

$600 for the complete bike picked up in McAlester. Pictures available for the
asking.

Thanks and Happy Father's Day weekend,

Frank in McAlester
