It’s a 2 hour drive from where I live and I’m currently selling some bikes to focus on a few chosen ones. Please, don’t make it so hard!

I think I’ve only ever seen the one @MuchAlohaNui has of this model in this colour. Very rare

Cool. Sounds like a nice 1-day road trip. If you pick this up, I have the same year RockShox SID in blue XC Long Travel and red SL Long Travel if you find yourself looking for one. I would part with one or both for a fair price. Or maybe you find the suspension fork offered in the Bianchi catalog?It’s a 2 hour drive from where I live and I’m currently selling some bikes to focus on a few chosen ones.

I think you pointed me to mine. The man I bought it from said he paid 5,000 DM for the frame in 1998, but I have been unable to confirm that in print:
In the 1998 Catalogue: the back pages, Bianchi is offering two (maybe rebranded Marzocchi) 26" suspension forks. A few pages before that, there are four frames shown vertically; right side. There is one yellow frame, so I assume this is the one I have and the one for sale in this thread. But every image/scan I found was so small I couldn't read what it said. It's like one guy scanned his catalogue for ants to read, then everyone else used that single image on their blog posts all over the internet and back.
HE HAD ONE JOB TO DO...I have since saved search '1998 Bianchi' on eBay in hopes an actual catalog pops up for sale.
I will finish the job.https://2velo.com/bianchi-bicycle-catalog-90s/
Those scans are so small it’s impossible to see whether they’re mountain of CX framesCool. Sounds like a nice 1-day road trip.

Brick lane bikes had the same or rather similar frame - same material I think - correct me if I’m wrong. Rear dropout is different. It seems yours is a 97nit sure about this - could be 97/98 https://www.bricklanebikes.co.uk/bianchi-mtb-frame-22-5inch.html £1200
Bianchi catalogues are road bike heavy and any MTB bar cheaper stuff is almost impossible to come by
Same with Scapin-

Have they responded to you in the past?
I am not sure about 1997.
I believe the two different frames are the same metal alloy - the link you posted to the frame that sold for 1200 pounds and the Nth x34 ST. I would have to go take a look. In the mean time I took pictures of the rear dropouts. They may even be from Ritchey; I can't tell off hand. I'd have to pull the bike off the wall to get a better view. I never noticed the emblem in the rear dropouts before. But the shape is unmistakable. Much more workmanship went into shaping these rear droputs as the shell/scallop like shape sort of protects the quick release from forward hits (or maybe serves a different purpose).
