Ever classic, ever beautiful. That is superb.

Do you know if Bianchi had just one ti builder, like Colnago/DeRosa, etc. did, or were there more than one in the R C? I wonder what happened to those ti builders; other than Wittson and De Rosa I don't know if others opened their own shops when the big houses discontinued titanium. Do you know?

Anyway, really gorgeous bicycle yours.

Those Ti Megatube bikes were cool. A buddy had one. They looked especially cool with the matching celeste steel fork and celeste Flite saddle.

I bought a Bianchi Ti Megatube as my first build from a frameset in 2010 and first titanium bike. Fantastic bike on which I put some of my most memorable miles.

Sorry but I have no idea! It would be interesting to know who was behind these!!

I thought Litespeed made the Bianchi Mega Ti?

I believe the 1995-96 Mega Ti was produced inhouse at Bianchi. 1997 -2000 versions were farmed out to Litespeed when Bianchi went full speed ahead with aluminum, riding the Pantani wave.

Unbelievable frame!!!

Is this one allowed on this thread? Not sure if this is a ti bike with some carbon tubes, or a carbon bike with some titanium 'lugs.'
Have close to 10,000 miles on this bike. Every component has been changed at least once. Have had at least 6 forks on this. Quite happy with the Seven 5e on there now.
