Notes:

This is a 1986, unless someone cares to tell me otherwise. Apparently the Sugino 75 CHCD crankset is rare...have yet to see another. Other than that, I added almost-matching road fork to accompany the safety of a front brake, but I still have the original one. It rides as good as it looks, if not better.

Crank/chainring

Submitted by vanillaface on 03/12/2009.

Where did you get that crank/chainring combo?! I've never seen anything like that from Sugino. I'm in love. Do you think there's any more of those floating around?

'86 Pista Friends!

Submitted by room203 on 12/26/2008.

I just got one too that I'm pretty sure is an '86. Does yours have the 1986-1987 world champ colorado springs decal on the downtube? what is the serial? mine begins with a C, which according to a couple sources does put it at 1986. (it goes Y=82, Z=83, A=84, B=85, C=86, D=88, and so on.) here's the page from the '86 catalog: http://www.bulgier.net/pics/bike/Catalogs/Bianchi-86/3.jpg

someone along the line drilled my fork and added rivnuts for a bottle cage mount. in a way im kinda glad for that since i do a lot of long rides and live in texas.

Fork works!

Submitted by DeliKa1zer on 12/07/2008.

Although it may not be original, the colors of that fork add a whole lot of character, methinks.
