1998 Bianchi Campione
I wrecked a 2002 Trek 2200 after being t-boned by a car a month ago (fortunately, not hurt but rear of bike frame was toast). I salvaged the partial Ultegra groupset (with 105 brakes) and found a used 1998 Campione frame. The previous owner put on an Easton carbon fork and Chris King headset along with a repaint. I’d prefer all original but this one is not bad besides some overboard placement of decals. It used a Dedacciai steel frame which seems a bit stiffer and less springy than my previous early 90s Bianchi Genius tubing. I believe the Campione was a lower to mid-tier frame in 1998.
I added a Selle Anatomica H2 seat which is definitely not for weight weenies but it’s quite comfortable. I also bought Mavic Kysrium UST wheels and Vittoria gum wall tires. The drop bars and stem are Bontrager from the Trek. My goal is to eventually install a Campy Chorus groupset in a year or two.
