Bianchi Rekord 748

Edoardo Bianchi is arguably one of the most important figures in the world of cycling. Born in 1865 in the heart of Milan, he grew up in an orphanage in the city center, where he enjoyed a wonderful education and, incredibly, was introduced to mechanical engineering. Shortly before his 20th birthday in 1885, Edoardo went into business for himself and opened his own workshop. His motto was simple and clear: use the best components and offer the best possible product, which is why you can be sure that old Bianchi bicycles are of the highest quality. Everyone has seen the characteristic blue-green hue that is synonymous with Bianchi bicycles. The correct name for this color is Celeste. This word translated from Italian into English means "heavenly" or "blue". Many brands on the market try to have instantly recognizable logos, but nothing attracts as much attention as the striking Celeste color.

The Campagnolo Nuovo Gran Sport groupset was a renowned bicycle component groupset produced by the Italian company Campagnolo in the 1970s and 1980s. It was an evolution of the previous Gran Sport groupset and was designed for racing bicycles. The Nuovo Gran Sport groupset's gear shifts were smooth and precise, and they allowed riders to shift smoothly between gears. The brakes offered reliable and powerful deceleration, which was especially important on descents and in demanding situations. Although no longer in production, the Nuovo Gran Sport groupset is still highly prized by cycling enthusiasts and collectors for its nostalgic value and quality. It is a symbol of the golden era of racing cycling and represents the high quality craftsmanship and design for which Campagnolo is known.
