Hi all, I recently came across this thread in the German forum. The idea is one picture per post. No text. Show us your legs laying on the top tube! I could not find a similar one here I thought so I thought to start it! There it goes with the first pic from me:

And price seems reasonable!

ok so it's this one: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/bianchi-nth-reparto-corse-columbus-genius-1996.454356/ It's got to be one of the lightest steel frame in production for an MTB BITD. Haven't seen another one so light. Strange too, as NEMO was actually even lighter as its seatstays and...

Also guys, is it me or I am just getting crazy? There actually is a steel tubeset that is as light as a titanium frame and lighter than most: If that's true it's crazy!

Wow! What a beast of a machine this is: Just discovered this thread and TBH never new of this Bianchi...

As mentioned above I too wonder how reliable the main triangle can be on any of these though...it will be taking a bet as it depends on storage.

The same drop outs were used by Sandvik. If there is a stamp made in USA under the bottom bracket then it's a Sandvik made frame for sure.

Thankfully for my pocket I somehow never got to like these type of derailleurs. I did think that worked as good as they looked though.

Again, really nice to see proper RB commaradeship! Now I am waiting for the build to start! Good luck with it!

I'd love one too but they are just very rare. There is one in Germany at the moment. It's an older moder and it's a full bike. I wish it was just the frame! i will keep looking too!

That's proper detective work! I think these are amazing frame considering the technology that went into making them. They should be pretty stiff too!

There currently is one on eBay located in Colorado if not mistaken. It's a bit beaten up but has the vanadium rails that are super rare.

DeKerf would be my choice in this scenario as well. Had the race lite been in mint condition too it would be too hard of a call.

Loving this bike and the use you put in it…riding with aero carbon mates is a statement in my books! Keep it going!
