la mia BIANCHI NTH Titanium megatube

Hello everyone, i'm e newie here... wanted to share a couple of pics of my Bianchi Megatube mtb... Other pictures will follow i hope! Un saluto dalla Toscana.
Ciao my friend !
Beautiful! Yours I think is an exact replica of Dario’s!!
 
Comparing the NTH to the Martini Racing , I think the head tube on the NTH is 1” compared to the Martini being 1 1/8.

Can anyone confirm ?
 
I think the earlier Martini's were 1", at least mine is. But mine also has the canti stub out back. I would guess at some point they deleted the canti stub around 97, probably went to 1-1/8" around the same time. That would have likely effected the Martini Racing & NTH frames as they are the same frame with different decals. Looks like the 96 World Cup race bikes were 1"

This is from the 96 catalog, the wording leads me to believe the same frames may have been used in the 95 season as well although I can't say for sure, most likely with 1" head tubes.

Depends on the material
The Ti megatube are 1.1/8”
The Columbus genius as I had were 1”
The aluminium models 1.1/8” as well
All the later 2000 bikes were 1.1/8
