Hello Everyone,
I have a 1996 Bianchi EL/OS frame/fork that I bought about 12 years ago, and I think that it is a 59cm, but it could be a 57cm frame; I would like to nail this down before I try to sell it.
[Someone here mentioned that they had a 1996 Bianchi Bicycle catalog; if I could check some of my measurements against that catalog, I could solve this mystery. Anyone?]
Here are some of the measurements I have (none of these are perfect):
head tube: 5 1/4"; 133mm
seat tube (c/t): 22 3/8"; 56.8cm
seat tube (c/c): 21 3/4"; 55.2cm
top tube (c/c): 22 1/8"; 56cm
wheelbase: 38 1/4"; 970mm
The bottom bracket features the following code, stamped into the bottom: "57f111c". The serial number - on the rear dropouts - looks like "7126" or possibly "TI26".
Can anyone help me to positively determine the Bianchi frame size for this?
Thanks!
Martin
