I´m trying to help a friend of mine to re-build his old 90´s Bianchi, but we can´t figure out wich model of frame he has. I´m sure that the bike is not a Ragno and the frame number is 9141638. If someone knows how to identify old Bianchi frames please tel me. Thanks.

What other marin frames uses this frame level?, I believe I will choose the 1994 paint job that I like the most and go for it

The serial number on the frame is the following: F 44BA021 8 Also there are two more numbers across: 40 19 anyone who can throw some light on this mistery marin?

The guy that sold me the frame told me it is a bear valley, and I can see what it appears to be bear valley decals on the horizontal tube. If it is not a bear valley what else it can be? I guess i need more help than Ithought.

Hi guys here ara some pics of my xizang with some new parts: Spin wheels 1998 RS SID Tioga Psycho K tires Selle Italia Flite Titanium Saddle Zoom bar ends hope you like it Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Hi, I`ve recently acquired a 1996? Marin Bear Valley or Bear Valley SE Cr-Moly Frame to build a singlespeed, as you will see this frame is far away from being in good shape, has some dents and the paint is in a very bad condittion so I must start to collect information for the repair and...

do u still have a set of bar ends?, are you willing to ship them to south america?, pay-pal?, thank you.

vintage Titaniun stems are difficult to find this is the only one that was at a reazonable price.

Thanks for all the comments, I´ve tried tu build this bike following three rules or concept lines, first: it must be a usable bike (thats why the long steerer tube, if I chop it down it will be very uncomfortable to ride since the frame is too long), second: Use the most vintage parts that i can...

Finally I´ve completed my xizang proyect and I want to share some pictures, and to hear some opinions about this bike.

and I thought that my xizang was pretty..............Gorgeus frame, flawless weldings I envy you.

No problem with jokes, but this bike is being build to be used, and if i cut the steerer tube it will be much more uncomfortable. Here are some pics of the brand new xtr cs-m950 cassette that i bought yesterday its an 11-30 I was hoping to find an 11-32 or 34 but beggars cant be choosers. I´ve...

I still dont know what tires I ll use on this bike, I saw a pair of Schwalbe rocket rons at a good price, thy are a little bit modern for this ride but I ve read they are great rires

I couldn t find any judy sl or old sid in good shape, so I went for this never used SX Ti that was hanging in the bike store since 1998 and I have to say that its not as heavy as it seems when I manage to complete the bike I will upload its full weight and I will try to save some grams by...

I wanted to share some pics of my xizang proyect. It started about 8 months ago when i found a frame on sale, and decided to build a titanium bike with the most titanium parts that i can get: Titanium frame, seat post, saddle rails, handlebar, stem, bottle cage, skewers, and also the fork...
