My Bianchi NTH

[ibbz]

The Oria tubes were used in the late 80ies and very early 90ies in models such as the Osprey Grizzly and the strange cross framed MTB Bianchi had

Their higher end frames at the time I think used Columbus Max OR.
By the way does it have Bianchi name cast around the BB shell?
That’s how you can see whether it’s a Reparto Corse frame

I’d guess our collective knowledge is second to none!
Regarding the bottom bracket, I’m not sure about it and won’t be able to confirm until I get the frame back from the shop.
(He’s the same guy who restored some VERY famous NTH, can’t wait to see the result!)

Hehe! Not many, you’re my go-to person for info. I’ve learned a LOT from you.
It was your (unfinished) build threads which got me into Italian bikes
