Bianchi Reparto Corse Lightweight Columbus EL
Hi Everyone,
This is being represented as an early 90's Bianchi Reparto Corse with Dura Ace Groupset. Assuming these claims are genuine, what would be the approximate street value of this bicycle as equipped?

This is a potential buy? To me it looks too small for the current rider. I don’t think the fork matches the frame I believe all the EL frames with a Columbus fork. The group/wheels is probably newer than the frame. Is it EL or EL OS?

It is a 50cm frame. If this is a genuine representation of the bike which we know does not have the original fork, what would one expect to pay for one in very good to excellent condition?

EL seems to show up in US market catalogs in ‘93+’94 but switches to EL OS in ‘95 again with the chrome fork. I don’t know when shipmano changed the shape of the brifter but again this group looks newer than the frame. The fork may have been changed because this was felt to be lighter and more race oriented but I would very closely inspect the head lug areas for signs of damage like cranked paint and even worse buckling or bent tubes.
