I think this frame is about 97/98 and xtr m900 group is not period correct, if I remember well originally it was Deore XT M739 equipped.

That’s interesting thanks
Was it a Reparto Corse frame ? Same as this?

Could well be. The cable routing seems the same and it's a v-brake frame with a seatpost bolt canti hanger by the looks of it.

Shape certainly looks like that Deda Zero era frame, although the tubing decal is not the same as this one.

Yes the yellow one has same decal as the BLB one
The BB shell should be etched / forged with Bianchi but can’t see it in the blue Italian sale

I assume its made for tiny Italian men....nowhere else would that be xl!

It's NTH Reparto Corse but it's not the same.
