Colnago C40 Serial Number
I have one about that year that a friend gave traded to me. I was going to build it up and just sell it, because i have so many bikes. I parted it up with spare parts, (shimano 600, Ultegra - not too fancy, and down tube shifters with 9 speed).

I took it out for a short spin to see how it road, and ended up riding 62 miles! I use it all the time now because its very comfortable. Mine has a bit more rake in it's fork, so its really steady, and great for long rides and steady while climbing, which is a nice change than being on my twitchy race bike. I quickly realized why people liked that bike so much. Plus it gets a lot of comments and looks. The frame and fork go for about 850+ on line, so i would say its worth it for that nice ride.
Click to expand. I've seen the faux Pinarellos ( and, I would consider one if I were in the market for a CF frame!) but I haven't seen a faux Colnago, yet.
At least, not one which could pass for a C40 or C50.FYI. As you may probably know, the C40 HP has very distinctive chainstays. So, if those are absent, then fuhgehdahbowdit. Colnago PAINT jobs are very distinctive. Even the more subdued 'designs' will be easy to distinguish if you've ever seen almost any other Colnago made after 1995 (. Just to pick an almost-arbitrary timeframe since 'I' am not aware of Colnago's fancy-schamncy paint schemes prior to the mid-90s).
there may-or-may-not be a ridiculous number of 'labels' embedded within the paint scheme indicating that the frame is a 'Colnago'. there is probably an indication that it is a 'C40 HP' on the down tube near the BB. the frame's serial number is etched on the front derailleur hangerThe Colnago STAR fork is distinctively robust looking since it has less taper than most other CF forks. Most Colnagos have main tubes which have a distinctive 'shape'. AND, of course, the Colnago C40 frames use the odd-ball 28.0mm seatpost size - so, have calipers in hand OR compare the inner diameter of the seat tube with a 27.2mm seatpost. DO NOT try to clamp a 27.2mm seatpost in a C40 frame because there is too much difference between 27.2mm & 28.0mm for you to be able to clamp a 27.2mm seatpost in the frame without damaging the frame unless you shim the seatpost ( or, a shim is already in the seat tube) OR unless it is not a real C40.
Colnago Frame Serial Number. Where was my bicycle made? 6 Kerry Roberts the owner of The Bicycle Company, the parent company of. Hi I've got another celeste-colored Bianchi bike.
It has a serial number format a little like felix's 7G 510. It might be a 1987 bike then.Just acquired a Bianchi. Below is the following data and pics: Celeste color, 56cm, SN# M8 9046, Made in Italy decal, Columbus tubing, Formula Two tubing, Formula fork, Suntour front and rear derailleur, Modolo brakes, Stronglight crank, Bianchi front fork dropouts, nothing on rear dropouts, Ofmega headset, handlebars appear to be original, but the stem is black with no marking?Bike is VERY ROUGH with plenty of rust. Seat tube, seat, shifting levers have all been replaced with junk. I am assuming entry level or at least, lower level model. I assume after reading much of this thread, 1988 production I would love to know the right way to fix it up.
I would assume sand or grind away rust, but then do I prime, find some Celeste touch-up paint?Or would I be better to remove all decals, repaint entirely, and find replacement decals? I am not worried about having it mint, but I would like to be able to ride.
Should I buy new components or are these sufficient for commuting and moderate road riding? What would be the best source for replacement shifting levers, seat tube and seat, stem? Thanks in advance for any and all help.Oh that poor Bianchi! That is an '88 Campione de italia and yes it ewas Bianchi's least expensive 'Italian' model, but they did go with Suntour to have an index drive train. Becareful removing the cranks. I recommend using a little penetrating spray after you remove the bolts. The use a good crank puller and be sure it is well seated before removing the crank.
If you have the space a bath in Oxecillic Acid (not spelled right) will fromove the rust inside and out.A few better overall pics will help to determine but you may be able to save the paint and just touch up. The main decals for this year, the Bianchi and the Formula 2 are available on the 'bay by a guy from Australia.Other than replacing the brake levers, mostly out of personal preference, and the fact the a nice tektro levers will be about the same or less than new Modolo hoods, that is all I would replace unless some is broken or so dirty and rusty it can't be cleaned. Consumables like cables and housing, tires and tubes, a chain.
Ad of course bar tape certainly should be replaced.I would recommend your local bike shop (LBS) unless you can't find what you want there. There tonnes of great suppliers on the net, I like Ebikestop, and then there is Ben's out of Milwaukee but he can be pricy. Ebay is a great place too.I have a Sport SX with SN BS801036 under the crank. A sticker on the seat tube says Made in Japan, and above the shifters says Campione del Mondo 86-87. Does anyone know the year of manufacture by reading the SN? Thanks for any help.
I have a 1970's bianchi in near perfect condition with original parts (or so I believe).The head tube has the frame number 8E11432 and a sticker underneath says 00 4.60. I would love to post some photos but have no idea how to attach the jpegs when it wants a URL (not techy) Any help or assistance greatly appreciated. Hi Bianchigirl, T Mar and fellow forum members, greetings from South Africa. Please you assist me identify the model, year of manufacture and steel type used for my frame. Unfortunately the frame was obtained in this stripped down condition and I don't have any idea as to the paint work, decals, etc.The frame appears to have been painted Celeste and was not nickel plated like my Super Leggera. Also, can you advise the place of manufacture, i.e. Italy, Japan The frame number is 2888 on right of BB and 9.
G on the left with Bianchi in the middle.Similar to the BB on page 23. It has 27mm seat post and Gipiemme rear dropouts. Forks dropouts are not stamped. Has 36 x 24T BB. Other distinguishing items are three top tube cable guides, bottle cage mounts on down and seat tube.

Rear gear cable guide is on the top of the stay.The frame size is 53cm (seat tube 52cm centre to centre, top tube length 53cm). I know it must be one of Bianchi cheaper frames but I intend to restore it close to its original state.
Many thanks for any assistance you are able to provide.Hello Loose cog, welcome to the forums. I believe T Mar has, unfortunately, retired from the forums, his knowledge is sorely missed. Is the seat post 27 or 27.2? 27 would be interesting and could point to a full SP frame rather than a SL or SL/SP mix. Is there any markings on the fork crown? Unfortunately since the paint and decals have been removed from this there is no way to know for certain just what it is. Owing to the pump peg and the brazeon for the front derailleur I would suspect this dates to somewhere around '86-89ish.But the fork crown lacking a Bianchi eagle would make it earlier maybe '85-86.
I do belive the tab for the front derailleur does mark this as a higher end frame, a lot of the later '80s frames, even the good ones, had the Gipiemme dropouts. Should be a fun project. BTW that chair and hall table are beautiful.Hi Bianchigirl. Thank you very much for the input. It is highly appreciated! There is no marking on the crown fork as seen in this photo.
Here is also a clearer picture of the braze on for the FD. The frame is quite heavy.The stem and seat post are seized as someone tried to sandblast the frame without removing the headset, stem, bars and seat post. I don't know what they were thinking? I will weigh it once I get the rest of the stem and seat post out of the frame. The seat post has been measured at the last bit closest to the lug.
My vernier is old and has had a few bumps in its life.I have an old Campy 27 seat post which I will see if it fits better than a 27.2 Thank you for the comments on the chair and hall table. They are part of a Stinkwood dining room set from the 1920's. Stinkwood is were heavy similar to Mahogany or Leadwood. Very scarce, especially in larger quantities. I will take a photo for you of the set. Need help IDing my Bianchi.From decals I think 1989-1990 since it matches from catalogs But what model and am I correct on the year? Frame and Fork: Japanese sticker behind seat tube so Ishiwata 022 Japanese.

Colnago C40 Serial Number 1
This probably dates to the earlier mentioned time period but but finding anything more specific is highly doubtful unless someone can get the info via the serial number.The stem are seat post were likely stuck before the sandblasting. Do a search on here for stuck seatpost and you'll find a scores of info on methods to try and remove it. Post navigation.
