Hello OBRA riders:
I have a beautiful Bianchi cyclocross frame + fork* for sale. This bike
isn't the usual celeste blue, but instead, a nice rich metallic
blue/periwinkle with black decals. I really like this color - it is
simple, but seems to zap you the way it stands out. This frame would
make an excellent rain/commuter bike too - it includes eyelets and
bottle cage threads.

This was the predecessor to the current AXIS w/ the checkered flags. I
think it is a model year 2001, but maybe someone else knows. I bought it
fall 2002. I have raced on it for two cx seasons, and it is in great
shape. The only paint damage is scuffing here/there and some scraped
paint around the inner chainstay/chainring area. The glossy clear coat
is worn a little on the heavy friction areas at middle of top and down
tubes (from normal carrying over barriers). Prior to riding this frame,
I rode a Redline and let me tell you, that was like riding a stiff
anchor w/ wheels compared to the nimble, light ride of this Bianchi!
Night and Day difference.
I'm only selling this frame because I currently possess three cross
bikes. One more than I need. I would keep it otherwise as it is a
beautifully rich color of blue. Questions, please email me. Thanks,
