I have ran through the catalogues, and the best guess I can come up with is an 88 Trofeo. Heres what I know:
Celeste color, celeste seat, celeste fork, two bottle mounts, air pump holder peg
Frame: Formula 2 columbus
Fork: Formula columbus, celeste (color throws me off)
Headset: Miche
Handlebar: 3t
Stem: Black 3t (this throws me off)
crankset: ofmega
pedals: ofmega
derailleur: suntour Sprint 9000
shift lever/set: suntour (index power control)
seat post: 3t
hubsets: miche
Most pictures I see for this bike are with a black fork and not a 3t black stem. Any help
or feedback would be appreciated! I would share some pictures but I am new to the forum. Best I can do is the profile picture. There is a picture of it in the thread I made, with a picture reply. Serial on the bottom is 2730 and 8•1(or I)
appreciate any help!
I agree very, likely an '88 Trofeo, but simply in a different color than the Argentine scheme. Which Bianchi Project do you have? I never see them listed for sale.
