Sonstige Hersteller Bianchi 175cc Racing Motorcycle

Beschreibung

Founded in the late 1890s, Bianchi made little impact outside Italy before WW2 despite an innovative approach which saw a team of unitary construction, twin-overhead-cam 350s entered in the 1926 Isle of Man TT, the design having first appeared in 1924. In the post-war period the company's road range consisted mainly of lightweights, the mainstay of production being 175cc models like the Sandro Colombo-designed Tonale. This racing Bianchi is presented as a nicely patinated older restoration. The machine is said to date from 1955, although the engine's exposed hairpin valve springs and general appearance suggest an earlier date, possibly in the mid/late 1930s.
