Tasty!
But don't tell my gastroenterologist about wasabi…

I’ve had 2 Nth bikes and now just got another. The 2 ‘96 Genius frames in Celeste / pink and now a ‘93 lugged Cuber beauty in very rare ‘California Blue’. (Also had 3 Martini Racing ones - inc a Ti Megatube)
You’ll see them on my signature and some catalogue stuff too for the 96 ones
The one you have is a beauty.
It’s about 92/93
Mine is 93 - here how she is now. Mint condition and original paintwork on frame forks and stem. Going to change the wheels to something period correct and likely a Nisi on XT and also a WR Compositi seat post to match the WR bars and saddle.

Thanks, your NTH looks amazing. I’m looking forward to seeing the other ones.
Regarding mine, I’m having it repainted by a pro shop; the thing that drives me crazy is how hard it is to find out the original specs or any information at all…
There’s the exact same as yours on on sale on eBay uk. It seems to be full original spec
This is the other I sold to @Srv72 and how he has it set up now.

The NTH on eBay is the only one I’ve seen with Oria tubes. Any other I find seem to have Columbus ones!

The Nth's are truely cool (imo). Definitely this one you @Soundifferent is worth restoring. Such a rad color too. Regarding any sort of history, your best bet is any information @ibbz may have. He, in my opinion is sort of the go-to Bianchi member. Catalogues and internet info seems to be sparce too. Which is odd considering HOW MANY PEOPLE love Bianchi.
My steal frame with the strange-shaped down tubing (x34 ST).

That’s stunning - these are very very rare
One on sale on Subuto.it (my go to shop for all things Italian)
I think brick lane bikes used to have one - a frame only. It’s still on Their website, was for £1200.
@RetroRider_IT is a Bianchi enthusiast who sold me a Ti megatube raced by the late Dario Acquaroli and has Paola Pezzo’s purple Bianchi frame.
There’s one on Subito for a bargain €150
Scruffy and L size but it looks like your yellow one https://www.subito.it/biciclette/mtb-bianchi-nth-taglia-l-trento-608746656.htm
