Bianchi is celebrating its 140th anniversary with two “Founder Edition” Specialissima RC and Oltre RC road bikes, which will fetch a staggering €21,885 each.
Limited to just 85 bikes, which corresponds to 1885, the year when Edoardo Bianchi launched his namesake from a modest workshop in Milan, each Founder Edition features either a Blue Italia or Celeste Spectrum paint scheme, along with a host of bespoke components that span a Shimano Dura Ace drivetrain, a THM Clavicula S.E. crankset with an integrated carbon spindle and dedicated bottom bracket, a CeramicSpeed OSPW Alpha derailleur cage with ultra-resistant Alpha Disc pulleys, Carbon Ti rotors and a set of Scope Artech 6.A 65mm wheels.
Other features that punctuate the Founder Edition bikes include the number “999” on the fork, a reference to Bianchi’s Reparto Corse series, as well as the letter “B” that was used to signify special edition Bianchi frames during the 1960s and 1970s.
Additionally, owners will also receive a Certificate of Ownership, a Certificate of Authenticity, a special edition bike travel bag and an official 2026 Bianchi WorldTour Team race kit.
