The traditional Italian brand has been a sponsor of the retro event L'Eroica for several years. The cooperation gave rise to the idea of creating a bike with a 1950s look that is as true to the original as possible.

The result is something to be proud of. The steel frame of the L'Eroica is brazed from Zona tubes from Columbus in Italy. The only colour option is - how could it be otherwise with Bianchi - the house colour Celeste, which is rounded off by chrome decorations on the fork, rear triangle and lugs in the style of the time. With centre-pull brakes, external brake cables and down tube shifters, the equipment also comes very close to the historical models. The only component that is recognisably not from the Fausto Coppi era is the 2x10 Campagnolo rear derailleur, which is manufactured in a special finish especially for the model. Available in seven sizes from 50 to 63 centimetres for 3,149 euros.
