Buongiorno

I ve been offered a lot of 4 vintage bikes .

1 66 Bianchi frame fork+headset Assembled but never ridden(supposedly built at reparto corse for MR.Pasquini)

1 1953 Bianchi in original conditions ( rough paint,some oxydation on parts,but everything is stillthere, since last time was ridden)

1 CC Bianchi That supposedly was raced by Mr.Pasquini during the TOur de France.Pasquini has been partner of Bartali and coppi.IF u look at the famous pic of Coppi and bartali where the exchange a bottle of water,u will see the re is a shadow on the ground.Well,that would be Mr,.Pasquini shadow(he said that Bartali passed the bottle to coppi)

1 early 80s Bianchi supposedly built by reparto corse for an ex-trainer of the Bianchi team(has a serial number around seatlug)

All bikes appear to be 57 c-c.gotta double check onthat.Now regardin the Pasquinis Bianchi,it has been repainted during the 70s by reparto corse(supposedly)ANd is now equipped with "random" parts mostly wrong( magistroni crank and hollow BB axles,campy SR and universal with PR cambio)Mr Pasquini Moved to Follonica where he opened a bar(now closed but still there,good biz ruined by bad sons)These bikes were purchased by this guy(the cinelli i now have belonged to Pasquini and Cino himselfprovided the bike to PAsquini,Cinelli used to have a house nearby<Ive Joined forces with Maasland about contacting Cinos son for info about that)The Bianchi was the last one to be purchased(and the hardest to get)becuz of the special meaning it had for Mr.P.Now ,the guy i got the bike from is Irio Tommasini personal friend( he went to see Faliero at vigorelli in mid to late 70s with Irio,and told me that he was still building and that faliero was a nutcase!),and was Paola Pezzo personal mechanic(he Kicked it for a while with John Tomac and NEd Overend,telling me some funny stories about them!)

Now,Guy has a shop and seem a really honest person,He also has some vintage bikes(not road)some old motorcycles(BMWs) and is also a fan of gIlles Villeneuve.Ill wait for Andrea cinelli response regardin my questions.

Anyway the lot is for sale at 4000 euros including s\h.I suggest you guys to join forces,or if a single,buy it and resell what doesnt interest you.Offer will last some days then bikes will be offered on EBay.

I have lotsa pix of them all,so feel free to email me anytime.

Thank u all
