Hi everyone!
I just rescued this Bianchi from the curb and I'm trying to identify the exact model name. Here are the specs:
Frame: 7005 Aluminum (with a "World Champion 1996" decal).
Fork: Rigid, marked as RCX 362 (Chromoly).
Groupset: Shimano Acera X rear derailleur / Altus front and shifters (Hyperdrive-C).
Details: It's a rigid mountain/hybrid bike with no suspension. The frame has a sloping geometry.
Based on the components and the 1996 victory decal, I suspect it's a 1997 model. Could it be an Advantage, a Peregrine, or an Ocelot?
I've attached some photos of the frame and components. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
