If the seat stays are shot in and wrapped over, Its probably genuine. Looks tiny though

where are you based?

Bianchi Specialissima X4 just finished. Columbus TSX rechromed and painted. C Record century finish group. Selle Italia Campionissimo (Coppi) saddle. Bars were leather wrapped by Kontour.cc in Belgium. Been for a couple of rides already and It's coming with me to Giaole in October (hopefully)

Ill take that. PM me your details (Paypal preferred F&F)

Re: Pretty sure I’ve got 7400 in noth single and dual pivot. I’ll look em out

Something for the spring. Bianchi Specialissima X4 in a change from Celeste. This colour was a factory option.

Lets see if I can get any likes for this? :D :D A new Raleigh 753 TI40 dressed in period parts #bekind

Re: Nice steed Toby. I was going to post up a Bianchi myself but I'll go for something different now

Re: At the end of the day, Raleigh hasn’t put anyone’s arm up their back. It’s expensive yes and there aren’t many top end 70s/80s frames that £1500 won’t buy.

The Specialissima X4 is about as good as it gets IMHO. I’m not expecting greatness

I’ve not yet ridden it. It needs a gear cable and a dry day. I’m happy with how it went together. I will give it a go but will probably pass it on at a loss

Re: I'll have another go. I bought one as a frame just to be nosy really - not really with an intention to hang on to it. Like many of us, the red black and yellow evokes nostalgic warmth but, lets face it, there are loads of other frames out there which make even the original SBDU frames look...

eBay auction with a realistic start price, no reserve and no buy it now - that's the market price every time!

Re: and talking of nostalgia premium, my 1984 Nottingham LU 531 frame (Competition 12 / Gran sport 12 maybe?) just went for £425 on eBay
