Bianchi Campione Del Mondo Imola Frame & Carbon Fork | 56cm Medium | 631 Steel

Description

Bianchi Imola – Serial #008388 – Celeste/Black Fade

“Steel Craftsman’s Canvas”

The Bianchi Imola captures the essence of Italian cycling tradition with its vibrant celeste to black fade and iconic eagle badge. The Reynolds 631 badge confirms this frame’s premium construction, featuring air-hardened steel tubing known for its excellent ride quality and durability—a perfect match for Bianchi’s long racing heritage. Campione Del Mondo logo combined with the Imola model and Reynolds frame with CF fork, places this unique frame at around 2002, just before they stopped building this model with Reynolds steel.

The Ride

This steel frameset delivers the classic road feel that made Bianchi famous—responsive without harshness, stable without feeling sluggish. The Reynolds 631 tubing provides that perfect balance of compliance and efficiency that makes steel frames so beloved. This isn’t just a bike frame; it’s a connection to cycling’s golden era.

Condition

The frame is in excellent condition with its original celeste to black fade paint scheme showing minimal signs of use. The finish retains its vibrant color with only minor cosmetic wear consistent with age. Threads and dropouts remain in excellent condition.
