Title: Bianchi 175
Post by: NickPoll on December 09, 2012, 05:38:48 PM

Hello all, Does anyone here know anything about Bianchi motorbikes, as I bought a late 50's 175 today for 200 Euros. It's an ohc single in good original oily rag condition. It needs a front exhaust pipe, but otherwise very original. I think Bob may know ?              Nick.

Here it is. Tonale model.

I like the way my dad said I was buying it to the owner. I'd love to buy it, but I think my dad likes it so much he's having it ;)

Maybe one day I'll remind him who deserves to own it ;)

That's exactly what it looked like when it broke down in 1968 and I had to leave it in France!
It's great that you have found it.
Just need to get it home now.

Wynford Jones had a load of Bianchi spares, mainly for scooter. Probably sold and probably not correct but worth a heckle.
