Wanted, extra large man who rides a Bianchi
Why: because while going through Dad’s old boxes of bike stuff, I found this. I don’t thing it was worn but I do suspect it was probably touched by some like mechanic with grease on their fingers.
free, which is why I’m not putting it in the “for sale”
Arms zip off
Pockets in the back perfect for cigars
section.
post a pic of your 59 or taller bianchi and I’ll send it to you.

That is awesome and very generous. Don’t have a Bianchi nor a 59 or better frame.
Someone will be thrilled!

I don't have a Bianchi at this time, but I do have a very tall green bike. 😃 Unfortunately, I don't have any cigars for those pockets. 😁😉
Someone tall with a Bianchi should get this. I'll pass. 😎

If that is a made in Italy Jersey it might fit like a ‘Murican medium, those Italian fellas are a bit on the small side. LOL.

Was ready to see some really tall frame showing signs that it probably belonged to the tallest brother of Dikembe Mutombo, but its a nice surprise. That jersey looks cool and it is a really nice gesture from you.

If I had an Eddy Merckx jersey, I still wouldn’t send it to you because you don’t know how to follow simple directions. But that’s a very handsome bike you have.

Italian or not. It seems like it’s American sized.

Couple more for posterity,
Too small, cool, old, low end.
Retroed 86? Squadra I bought early on in my tenure here, still languishing, sellers pic.

I saw the thread title and wondered ,"Oh, what's Bianchigirll up to now?" . 
Then, I noticed that she wasn't the originator of the thread.

Too late (but thank you for the kind idea!), but I'm not going to miss a chance to post her:

Always happy to post in a Bianchi thread. I will say a Euro XL jersey tends to fit more like a largish medium to large on us Americans. Here my 56 cm ‘83 Specialissima

After I give it to Merziac, if it doesn't fit, he can pass it on.
