Vintage Bianchi Road Frameset...
Posted by wch759 on March 09, 2008

Won this one on Ebay the ‘old fashioned’ way, aka not sniping. Sat around on the computer and waited until 9 seconds left before entering in my bid. Final bid of an archaic 238.74 sealed the win at 202.50. From what I have read, this frameset was produced in the 80’s and into the 90’s from Tange Infinity Tubing. Italian design, most likely Japanese manufacturing.

I will mostly likely take some parts off of the white Fetish, or maybe even order a complete tiagra set. Did not expect to make another bike purchase so soon, but it’s very rare to find something this nice in my size.

...that's exactly what sniping is. You just didn't automate it.

yes. that was a consideration. from what i have read, it's about 1.25 degrees slacker than my tarmac, but i had very little clearance between the front wheel and the tarmac frame; hopefully this will help out a little bit, and at least i will be able to steer well at LIGHTNING FAST SPEEDS!
