what bike is the green one?

Dario Acquaroli's race bike. A Bianchi NTH (bianchi's racing line) made of Columbus Genius. Ho got the Under 23 world title on this little steel sled.

The full susser is Bianchi MArtini Racing DH bike, ridden by Bruno Zanchi. It's made of TITANIUM! (yes, a box section bike made in ti!!!!)

Cant be many of the carbon Mantis frames around...... I have a piccy in an old MBUK from Interbike in the mid 90's....

I am amazed at so many beautiful bikes in one place.....

I think that only 5 Mantis thermoplastic frames (Screaming V) were built. The construction technique resembles GT's very closely... I think it came from the same fa ctory. BTW, the collections were't complete...

I took the pictures at all the bikes individually, do you like?
The guy with the t-shirt axo is Bruno Zanchi, the other two guys are the organizers of the bike show.

Complete bicycles are not for sale, are of Italian collectors, but some frames mantis (6) can be exchanged for yeti

Fly components, you lace them onto the flanges, normally...
