Columbus sbx

[Web1111a]

Was perusing ebay and saw a Bianchi with sbx tubing

Does anyone know much about this tubing

I assume the b is a Bianchi specific but where does it fit in the spectrum


Thanks

I don't know any specifics - haven't seen it in any of the several Columbus catalogs I have so I assume Bianchi specific. Probably a combination of tubes from other sets. I'd guess it's good stuff, the frame looks very similar to my EL-OS. You might check with the seller on tube diameters. The EL-OS has only an oversized down tube, the TT is 1". I'd say anything built with OS tubing in that era is near the top of the line.

Believe it does have the Reparto Corse decal on the ND side chainstay, which is also an indication that it was one of the better frames.

Adds to the knowledge base

At some point need to add Bianchi to the stable
