Vintage Bianchi Lo Spillone Tandem Bicycle
€980.00
One of a kind! An Italian vintage Bianchi Lo Spillone Rosso tandem bike.
Bianchi is the world’s oldest bicycle manufacturing company in existence. The company was founded in Italy in 1885 and in addition to bicycles it produced motorcycles from 1897 to 1967. In 1955 the joint-venture Autobianchi was created together with Fiat and Pirelli for the manufacturing of cars. Bianchi bicycles are traditionally painted Celeste, a turquoise also known as Bianchi Green. Contradictory myths say Celeste is the colour of the Milan sky, the eye colour of a former queen of Italy for whom Edoardo Bianchi made a bicycle (the crowned eagle of the company logo is an adaptation of the former royal crest) and that it was a mixture of surplus military paint. Our lovely Lo Spillone Tandem comes in the color “Rosso”.
Specifications:
- Gearing: 7-speed Shimano Altus
- Wheels 700c
- Rim brakes
- Double bottom bracket

All of our vintage products show the rich beauty and history of their life with the knocks and bumps of many years of use. We restore our pieces so they will be clean and in a good working condition. However we try to minimise restoration to keep every piece as original as possible.
The physical object can differ slightly in colour from the object as presented online. We have made every effort to display colours accurately, but cannot guarantee that the pictures accurately reflect the colour of those goods in real life.
