Bianchi Forte MTB!!! 😁









This was sitting in a junk shop, with tires that were dry-rotted and falling off it, and even the tubes & rim strips were dry-rotted. 🙁 So all those items are new now, except the front tire, which is a good used one, that the seller threw in. Otherwise, this is "as bought".

This is my first bike with a U-brake, as well as the stem with a pulley (forgot to get a pic of that). 😉 Everything's Exage Mountain M450, except the 6-speed brifters which are Exage Trail M350. Also the hubs aren't Exage, but they're an unusual SR (Sakae-Ringyo) with a weird crown logo, with KK inside the crown. 🤔 They felt really stiff at first, but loosened right up, and roll great. I still grabbed a couple cone wrenches, to repack them. 🙂
I'll get the serial number later, it's under the cable guide.
Anyways, let's see some pics, huh? 😁
