u/RockHopper91

Apparently Bianchi made a Collab with Gatorade, during 1992, 1993 years.

I found it on Facebook marketplace for 220 (I'm not buying it, sigh)

It's in awesome conditions!!!

FINALLY! after nearly an year swapping parts, looking for tools that I've lost moving from one house to another, passing from cheap canti to High tear V brake to ciclocross canti here she is. In her "final form"? (I've another blank frame on the way)

I've bought it to change from my El tsx vintage Bianchi (to stiff, to many potholes in town) to commute, hangin' arrrrrrround. Was the only frame for selling in Sardinia, planning to do small trips around Cagliari with it. I've paid it 260€ but was complete with a bunch of other stuff (I'll post the before in the comment) and was way to uncomfortable, bars to high, felt very dangerous in town, to many hills/down hills. Then quickly stopped to be a bin parts bike and I've spent way more than I thought (lol) but it feels amazing

For anybody wondering here is a list:

WHEELS

•Mavic cross rides (they came with a 9sp SRAM cassettes included) very cool, flat spokes, Al, quite lite. I've removed all the stickers because was way to noisy. Paid used 160€

•Schwalbe AIR PLUS inner tubes (around 8€ for the pair)

•Goodyear 🪽 wing foot park 26 x 2.20 (around 40€ for the pair)

Front fork was a New old stock, probably triple cr-mo, way lighter than the original, very stiff, found on eBay for +/-30€

Chain, rear derailleur, shifter, were all a set with his 9sp cassette bought online for 25€

Jag wire pro Brake/shifter cables another 30€

BRAKES

•The ciclocross canti are Ride Will, an Italian brand. But I've actually bought them both on eBay from London, second hand for 35€, rather than pay like 50€ for one pair

•Levers are Shimano sora, brand new, 30€ (mine didn't worked well, even if they should've been short pull too)

•Bike Yoke Lock on Grippy (best investment after the Surley Sunrise) 30€

COCKPIT

•Surley Sunrise handlebars (the most difficult piece to find) my bike shop cut them for it, from 820 to 760MM (I'm 1.67m, they are actually perfect sized now) paid 88€

• new Al BMX stem I've found online from a guy, 7€ shipped 😂

FOR A TOTAL OF 🥁 🥁 🥁 🥁

744 € (consider that I've an amount of parts that I've removed from it, to make the one on the way, obv)

All the rest came from bin parts, or I haven't changed it.

I truly apologize but I've forgot the front rack at home (but I've bought another one, because, why not?)

If you guys have any questions part wise, let me know

I absolutely need help with it, Reddit help me restore this beauty

Long story short, I bought another 26er frame for 40€ (including mounted Italian square threaded BB, stem and bars)

It looks by the decal that it should be Triple butted. I also haven't seen another sticker like that (I presume it must be from 90/95 latest).

Frame it's light, lighter than my RockHopper91, quite Racey design wise, tbh it's very much compact, way shorter tubes than a normal size M, wish bone and it's a 1 1/8 headset.

I thought it could be something like a Muddy Fox? But I have honestly haven't seen anything like that on the vintage catalogues, so I'm back to square 1
