You can see the serial # on the C50, but not on the C40, and both have what I'll call 'odd' paint anomalies in the pics. I just realized that I've been looking at this seller's bikes for a while now.he has some pretty unique frames - JET C50, Mapei C40, etc. Unfortunately they don't keep a list of stolen serial #s (I already asked), but maybe they know other routes to pursue the rightful owner if it comes to that. If nothing else comes out of this, at least others will be aware of the potential of receiving items that may not be on the up and up.Ĭolnago has been extremely helpful thus far. Had there been any mention of potential stolen goods in any of the feedback remarks that I read, I would have not even considered making an offer. I looked over the sellers feedback and prior listings before making an offer, which mad me feel better about doing so. 8 years of stolen goods and still at 99.7% positive feedback. If nothing else, at least mention 'stolen goods' in your ebay feedback. Maybe they'll throw you a bone and discount something legit for you. If you are talking to Colnago already.ask them if you should do the right thing or if they're interested in getting involved. This helps explain why the serial numbers aren't visible in their other C59's for sale. I think you should make a claim and get your money back. All parts are working fine.That ebay seller has been selling since 2007. B303830)Ĭondition: Used, but still very good condition.

Extraordinary details of the steel frame makes you understand that Edoardo Bianchi was a medical tool engineer, before he started with bike manufacturing. Prudly presenting another legendary piece of the cycling history – Bianchi Campione del mondo. The frame with serial number B303830 dates back to 1957, thanks for special Bianchi vintage bike register. Fausto Coppi and other heroes were wining on very similar Bianchi bike. After that prestigious win, Bianchi renamed their previous top model Paris- Roubaix to CDM (Campione del mondo). The CDM was Bianchi’s top of the line racing bike in mid 1950s, later in early 1960s the Specialissima was released.

After 7h30min of racing, Fausto Coppi won with solo attack ahead of Belgiums Derijcke and Ockers. The 1953 World Chamiponship took place in Lugano, Switzerland, near Italian border. Fausto Coppi on Bianchi CDM back in 1950s
