1983 Bianchi Limited 650b Conversion Frame - 57cm Direct Mount Centerpull
Listing Ended
Classic road bike frame that got the 650b conversion treatment. I rode this bike a lot and now want something with slightly longer chainstays. 2 extra water bottle bosses have been added, as well as fork eyelets for a rando rack. Centerpull mounts work with Rene Herse, Grand Bois, Dia-Compe direct mount brakes (not PAULS). Frame fits 650 x 38s and the fork can fit 42s. Comes with Velo Orange Rinko Headset and Surly rear cable hanger, and seatpost. Internal double-strand dynamo wire has been left in if someone wants that. Low BB because of the conversion lends itself to having 170mm cranks or shorter. Geometry is here: https://i0.wp.com/2velo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/114.jpg?fit=1024,713&ssl=1

Oh! And what model Bianchi frame was it to begin with? Can't seem to read the text on the top tube.
This is so cool. I just watched the Frek video by Ben Schauland on YouTube. If you did it yourself, congrats on what looks like a great mod job! Do you have the top tube and standover height measurements by any chance? And are your tire clearance measurements taking into account fenders or no fenders?
It was a Bianchi Limited from '83 I think. Top tube length is 57cm. I'm not sure what the standover is, but the BB drop is 66mm. Clearance for the frame is 38s with or without fenders. The fork clearance is more generous. Simon of Hanford Cycles/Firth and Wilson did most of the mods!
