This Bianchi Trofeo frame with matching fork has been ridden less than 200
miles. It is in excellent condition and will be a beautiful looking and riding
bike when built up.
This Bianchi Trofeo frame measures 55.5cm from the center of the bottom bracket
to the center of the top tube, or 56.5cm from the center of the bottom bracket
to the top of the top tube, with a 55.5cm top tube and a 133mm headtube.
The frame and fork are painted Ferrari Racing Red with bright white decals
outlined in black. The frame is fully lugged using Bianchi Exclusive Dedacciai
Zerotre steel tubing. The downtube is ovalized at the bottom bracket shell for
both stiffness when climbing and sprinting, and for strength. The fork is a
unicrown threaded model with 1" steerer. This frame and fork were made in Italy
by master craftsmen, and are a wonderful testament to Bianchi's bike building
expertise.
The rear chainstays measure a longish 42cm
for comfort and stability, with vertical dropouts that are 130mm wide. This
frame uses a clamp-on front derailleur, has two sets of water bottle bosses, and
the rear brake cable is routed through split stops on the top of the top tube.
There are a very few touched-up paint chips, and of course a mark where the
clamp-on derailleur was installed, but there are no rust or dents as this frame
and fork are in wonderful condition. All of the tubes and fork have been treated
on the inside with Boeshield T9 rust prevention spray.
A nice Campagnolo square taper bottom bracket is installed on the frame and
comes with the purchase. There is also a headset installed, but it is a no-name
model and is too rough to use unless you want to try and overhaul it.
$150 picked up in McAlester for the frame, fork, bottom bracket, and headset.
For $50 more you can buy a hand-built Vuelta XRP wheelset that have less than
100 miles on them. The rims are silver with red and white decals, flat-bladed
spokes with 24 count in front and rear, and include rim strips and skewers.
Pictures available soon.
Thanks,
Frank
