Bianchi Saetta, racing bicycle, 1935, Italy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Rare bicycle made in a few examples to commemorate the\u00a050th anniversary of Bianchi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Light blue livery with red touches (we\u2019ll have to wait another 50 years to see an official Bianchi<\/a> with other colors coupled with the classic light blue).<\/p>\n

This bicycle features a nail remover and a tire scraper to protect the bike from punctures<\/strong>.
\nPuncturing a tire on the gravel roads they raced on was not difficult. Despite being rudimental, these two solutions were considered technological innovations and the cyclist could benefit from them.<\/p>\n

This bicycle was not intended to race though, it aimed to enthusiasts and collectors ante litteram<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Technical notes:
\n<\/strong>Special Swedish Aeronautical steel frame, thin and rigid
\nLacquered badge with red touches.
\nDouble pinion (fixed when it was mandatory for racing)
\nNIEDDU \u2013 VITTORIA MARGHERITA gearbox
\nNew T. Campagnolo quick release system for the wheels
\nOiler on the vertical tube
\nUNIVERSAL brakes: the first ones made of light alloy
\nWooden rims<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n \r\n
