Things You Might Not Know About Bianchi

[@Stratulax]

I just bought my first Bianch, about 2 months ago (Aria). I still remember being introduced to them, and the iconic Celeste #227, back in the early 80's, which was around the time of their 100th anniversary. I ordered a Bianchi catalog through Bicycling magazine just to marvel at their bikes, hoping to one day be able to purchase/own one. So this has been a long time coming, and if I had a bucket list, this would definitely have been on there. Rides like a dream, and is one hell of an efficient climber! Best bike that I've ever been on, or had the pleasure to have purchased. Lunga vita a Bianchi!

[@stormrider1119]

Man, one day I hope to follow suit and get my first Bianchi. I live my BMC but there is something magic about this brand...

[@Stratulax]

@@stormrider1119 There are other brands to consider as well.all magical for different reasons, check out Colnago and Pinarello as well. If I could, and if I had a bigger house and a lot more money, I'd have at least one of each. Like maybe a Pinarello Grevil for a gravel bike. Hmmmm.....

[@adelinecursio1695]

Just treated myself to the Venezia Lady 45 cm Celeste for my retirement/birthday gift! It is not only beautiful to look at, it is made very well and rides like a dream. Bianchi is a tribute to my Italian heritage.

[@nicolasdomon7382]

Italians are the best at making beautiful stuff!

[@kidkarbon4775]

but Bianchi’s frames are manufactured in Asia so you can be pretty much certain the majority of the workforce is not Italian

[@NeseaMedia]

yeah like beautiful girls.

[@StevenHartono]

I've owned 4 different Bianchi's! Loved how it's the oldest bike brand still in existence, so much rich history to it. I still have my Pista, Via Nirone, but have sold my two Intenso's - I still regret selling my 130th anniversary Intenso frame, which was also in Celeste Blue! I would trade my Pinarello Dogma for it anyday!

[@markstengel7680]

Very cool. Going today to purchase a new Bianchi road bike. 🚲👍

[@mikaelklasson3213]

My current road bike (My first bike) is a Bianchi Impulso 105 from 2016 that I purchased second hand 1 year ago for $800, I am super happy with it and hope to own this bike for many more years!

[@terrykrall]

Have a Dedaccai Veloce with 70,000 miles now, with Potenza and record components. I love the ride of the bike. Also have a TSX Ultralight with Chorus components.

[@chrisrobertson9264]

Still riding my 1988 super Leggera first year of chorus smooth as buttah

[@joejoe8948]

I wouldn't trade my XR4 for any modern bike in the world!!

[@martinfreeman7642]

Pick up my Infinito CV this week. I can't wait

[@albandb9366]

Looking at it, they say great bike!

[@paky8374]

Amazing bikes! Mine is Impulso Allroad!

[@normadicn5700]

How is the speed?

[@workingclassperson2124]

I got an osprey I think it’s the 80’ or 90’s model I like how the frame is made. My wife is a fan of Italian craftsmanship. I got it for 80$ it has upgraded rims and other things but I like it and it should serve me fine.

[@DANISH4114]

Just saw bianchi nirone 7 was very impressed 👍

[@wutherer]

Great video! Already stoked to get my hands on the Bianchi Impulso all road this weekend!

[@EddieEmApuros]

I have one mtb from B. 24 years now. Love it

[@alfredoFlowers]

love bianchi bikes

[@princemoslhey395]

Bianchi is the best for me❤❤❤❤

[@sharndawg007]

The story I heard about the colour was that it was left over paint from the war.

[@qidxx3921]

❤ bianchi

[@carlosrobertobianchi9142]

Meu pai teve uma bicicleta da marca Bianchi. A roda era de madeira e tinha uma bonita linha.

[@mrfunball5204]

I have a bianchi volpe in vintage celeste, Italian by way of Taiwan, but I love it 👍

[@warplanner8852]

First racing bike was a Bianchi and it was, of course, Celeste 224 or, as we called it: men's room green. The frame hangs in the rafters awaiting rebuild as does my Bottecchia - circa 1989! But Campagnolo will NEVER go on these! Every Cramp-and-Go-Slow component I brought wore out or broke. Naw, mate, as a cheap chicken Cat 3, I hoarded high end racing Dura Ace and durable 105 parts. These two bikes will be rebuilt to combat specs with stuff that have never failed me...from 36° MA-40s I built my self to 105 brakes and NO pimp shifters.

[@zelkuta]

Rest in Peace Jules Bianchi

[@f1etc.438]

Was searching for comment like yours

[@spainobmxer69]

Another fun fact about Bianchis famous greenyblue. As a company they aren’t able to give a colour code for their products as every frame is a slightly different shade of the same colour depending on who mixed the paint. I ordered in some forks under warranty once and they were much darker than the originals, safe to say Bianchi didn’t give a shit when the customer was complaining to them . When I was chatting to their uk sales rep and brought this up he said it always happens. As he was an Italian native he just said it’s the “Italian passion” and all high end Italian products have a “perfectly imperfect” quality to them. We had one of pantanis bikes on display in the shop for a while as well. A few people from head office had a tour at Bianchi hq and they said afterwards there is a bike graveyard section, as any frames that aren’t sold are just chucked in this section and left to rot, as they refuse to have an end of line sale before new product comes out to get rid of the frames they’d rather get full price for them or not sell them. Pretty shitty company to be fair

[@normadicn5700]

Most designer companies do this whether its clothing or whatever. They refuse to do sales and would rather their products rot or burn them.

[@spainobmxer69]

Normadic N most designer companies have outlet stores now for selling last years stock. Even though it would be more understandable to do it with clothing as a £75 t shirt costs about £3 to make, where as a bianchi frame would be about £600 at trade. Every other bike brand would drop trade price by 20% at the end of July for end of year sales to make way for the new stock arriving in September

[@normadicn5700]

@@spainobmxer69 true but Rutland cycles seem to have some last year Bianchi allroad Sora bike at 750£ and its claimed to be discounted. I really don't know about bikes to be honest and just looking for gravel bikes to commute during winter

[@KirbyLouis]

My guess for the paint, is that it was surplus/easy availability of color that a lot of heavy machinery is usually colored, then and now

[@macmakka8214]

Wrong

[@KirbyLouis]

what is the official statement from bianchi on the paint color origin???

[@Frankiesmovies]

Thank you

[@petergiourelas3753]

My next bike 80s bianchi steel frame, hopefully?

[@lobotomite9767]

I just found a bianchi at a goodwill for 10$ in basically perfect shape, just needs a new chain

[@JoseGomez-vn7hn]

Where's that Goodwill???? Great find enjoy riding it.

[@lobotomite9767]

@@JoseGomez-vn7hn so basicly I worked at the goodwill at the time, my job was receiving donations and pricing them, specifically bikes, TVs, exercise equipment etc. So this old lady donated it not knowing what it was, I priced it for 20$ and called my wife, she showed up and grabbed it the second I put it out on the floor, it was a 50% off day so it was $10 got some really amazing deals using that heist system

[@sun27g]

Bianchi Methanol 😎😇

[@LZed-g4k]

Sweet!!

[@Sills71]

Pantani's bikes were NOT made by Bianchi, Dario Pegoretti made them.

All time favorite when it was also not winning... Grand tours in recent yrs

Bianchi ✌🏼🇨🇦✌🏼

[@jesuspickg8929]

I got 2 bianchi bikes for free, I was very lucky

[@ruwiki]

One thing you missed: who owns Bianchi? Or is that one thing the author needs a random facts video for?

[@sdolman79]

My bianchi is red and black, I get mocked because it isn't greeny blue.

[@dannitron1934]

Its ok because im getting mines painted metallic silver and black or red

[@GOTHICforLIFE1]

Same as my riding partner actually. Though i think it's cool, even though i have a black and cyan/blue myself.

[@matteocristini6221]

Red and white Bianchi owner here! Though mine has celeste bar tape and bottle cages. I think it still looks cool!

[@sebastianjimenez6409]

my bianchi is black and white :D

[@44thenazz]

Sort of like a blue Ferrari.

[@tropangbratz9764]

Amen🙏☝

[@ango7506]

My brava it’s fkn perfect 🥵💪🏽

[@macmakka8214]

The Bianchi;s sold out to Fiat in the 1950's and moved to New South Wales Australia and became farmers, the Great Grandson James Bianchi lives in Coffs Harbour NSW and has a freight empire , the story about the colour is not what he told me, but then again the truth is a bit risque !!! . The Australian connection is another story,this like many things on you tube , another tale that leaves out much of the story.

[@PeredheI]

I know I'm late, but maybe you'll see this comment: what story did he tell you about the colour?

[@mikehermesmeglio]

Yeah. What story did he share about the color?

[@jomartorres4535]

I have white and black bianchi intenso..

[@ahah1785]

I got a binachi too...it fell off a truck...truck...

[@darkmode7759]

I always thought it was pronounced as "beeyanchee" 😅

[@waynemakka1324]

The color origins are interesting, having worked for Bianchi & discussed this with family members, it's not the Sky, it's not cheap paint, it wasn't he eyes but you're on the right track, apparently it was more a private joke, you have to imagine what might have been made in that color by luxury brands..................the crest of royal appointment followed soon after....We WERE amused.

[@81caasi]

It was the color of her eye makeup she always put on. (?)

[@yourrightiamwrong9643]

that god father reference, lol

[@spm36]

no mention of the iconic sky blue Bianchi used?

[@CyclingPulse]

Watch til the end!

[@taichihead42]

And the slowest delivery times in Europe, absolute nightmare to deal with.

[@josephshines3427]

My Bianchi is chrome.

[@johnandrews3568]

paint... they used celeste on bikes before both world wars, so that 'paint on the cheap' doesn't hold water.

[@ellingsennanobryggeri9096]

💪🇳🇴💪

[@FlipItFast79]

It’s sad even these bike are now mostly made in China cheap labor and sell to the consumer for an extremely high price!!!

[@owenchuarbx]

At first thought Bianchi is Japanese

[@sbsb7845]

MARCO PANTANI was doping like a Crazy Horse, and he liked Coke too. They found him dead at 34 in his hotel room-heart failure, and cocaine in the system. He was Blue like his bike

[@Gallo-ot2om]

Yeah he had to dope to keep up with the master doper Lance Armstrong and the whole trek team.

[@aitorochoa]

Orbea 1840

[@taufikabidin412]

I actually hate that paint, looks like a fading paint on decaying walls

[@GregaJuvancic]

Whoever thinks this color is beautiful must be colorblind. Good bikes but effing ugly cause of this puke color. Wish Lotto Jumbo would change theirs to black.
