Bianchi Martini Racing Titanio Team 1997

I've got very little knowledge about Bianchi but this one really stands out to me, eye candy and I get to learn a bit, win win. I think your component choices are really interesting, you've both had the more classic higher end stuff that we see on most builds on there and then went down a more artisan route as well.

I also like the photo you picked for BoTM, good backdrop.

No chance of winning - Italian bikes don’t win. Watch, there will be some American bikes entering one of which will win.

Likely the winner will be one that's never been ridden and only sees the light of day when dragged out for the photoshoot

I think I got your old frame.
Lots of inspiration in this thread, very cool! I'm excited to do my own build.

That can’t be my frame as @RetroRider_IT has it - unless he’s sold it - which he might have done as it looks the same even with the Tiso seat bolt (which I always use )

It’s a fantastic frame
The best I’ve had and I wish I could get it again

I am really looking forward to your build !!

This frame was raced by Team Bianchi Martini !

This was my favorite version
Light as anything - under 20lbs
With the FRM carbon forks and the Avid Black ops
I’m surprised Marco got rid of it as he swapped the frame (plus headset£ for my Scapin Nope !
