I never see bianchi bikes in enland but everywhere i look in turkey and greece there is someone on one.

Nice bike.

About 12 Bianchi Road bikes >£3500 and my local bike shop who are sponsered riders of Bianchi but i thought thats all they only did road bikes :S JT he said it was a bike only sold in Sweeden limited edition maybe? maybe thats why its one of the only ones arround?

Looks sexual though

Thanks for the coments, again, this is not really a Bianchi, ist the same frame as the 2001 and 2002 Crescent Ilions but becouse the shity cycleurope dicided to not have two brands with hi-end bikes thew made the 2003's Crescents with Bianchi colur. after 2003 no "real" Crescent ware made anymore, just same shity bikes for kids that is identicle to the ones in france, norway, finland and denmark i think, but with ather brandstickers, but exactly the same colur cheme. So Crescent do not exist anymore :( And the new Bianchis is really cycleuroe also, disegned by them and then welded in taiwan. shity f**king cycleurope, I hate them :)

And the last year Ilions whare made was 2003 under the name of Bianchi, with the retail price WAY to high, I think i saw janson wrote that no one was sold for the retail price :D 32500 swedish "kronors"... :lol:

Very nice steed. Not the same as when they were under the Crescent brand name, with the Orange colour scheme though- i loved that frame :( Even though it was designed years ago it still looks really cool by todays standards. Something different to look at unlike all the boring, long, low and silver bikes of today.

Are there any Crescent Ilions with original paint scheme still knocking around ? I know Pete Wrong had one but his was rewelded and sprayed black ?
