HISTORY

 

Rare time trial bicycle by Bianchi. Bianchi Krono has a special time trial geometry with 700C rear wheel and 650C front wheel. The bicycle is completelly equipped with Shimano 105. Several parts have never been used.

​During the late 1980s, it was common for time trial bikes to use a standard 700c rear wheel with a smaller front wheel, usually a 24" or 26" (650c). Looking at old footage of the famous 1989 TdF final time trial with LeMond and Fignon, they rode this style of bike. Because of the radical looking sloping top tube, these bikes were later referred to as "funny bikes". These bikes didn't really get into the 90s, because the UCI later required that all bicycles had to have the same size wheels.
