Bianchi is offering a limited edition tribute to Marco Pantani
Bianchi is celebrating its 140th anniversary with a nod to cycling legend Marco Pantani. The Italian brand has unveiled the Specialissima RC Pantani, a modern reimagining of the Mega Pro XL, the bike Pantani rode to his iconic 1998 Giro d'Italia-Tour de France double victory.
215 units of this limited edition tribute will be made available, with each bike numbered to commemorate the 215 km of Stage 17 in the 1998 Giro d’Italia, where Pantani seized the pink jersey.
The Specialissima is Bianchi’s purpose-built climbing bike, echoing its 90s ancestor in the iconic celeste and yellow colours with classic graphics. [Bianchi]
