"holy smoke" ! It is beginning to smell a bit fishy, if you'll forgive the mixed metaphor

 

[Cycleops]

That was a complete bike with top end components. He said it was a Pantani replica or something

Just seen what Cyclops replied, something "ain't right" here maybe ? Also l was under the impression that 7005 alloy was a lower end grade aluminium for bike frames which seems a bit odd for Bianchi to use. ?

Here's the link: https://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/...ne-uno-bike-with-campagnolo-record/1304990868
The value is maybe because its an important vintage item before carbon was widely used for racing, don't really know just guessing.

Oh that makes a bit more sense...still a mad price though. I saw a film about Pantani recently part of which showed a collection of his Bianchi bikes and the guy introducing it said that Pantani would get through more than twenty frames in a year, so l guess there are a few knocking about !

Thanks Mr B. l will get a copy. It seems like there are a whole load of conflicting stories / facts ? about the man and his bikes. It would good to have some real info.

I like this Delta Sportive (of Otley!) aero tubed TT bike - pick up from somewhere in Lancashire. I've spotted very similar looking lo-pro Bespoke of Settle frameset on Hilary Stone so could be Norris Lockley built (http://www.hilarystone.com/frameset8.html) :
