Formed By Edoardo Bianchi in Milan

Formed by Edoardo Bianchi in Milan, Italy, Bianchi Bikes was founded in 1885 (that's old!). In the same year, the company pioneered the equi-sized wheel use with pneumatic rubber tires (not to mention the front wheel caliper-operated braking mechanism as well). Known as one of the worlds oldest bicycle companies, Bianchi is known for race bikes, track bikes, leisure bikes, and even fixed gear bikes of the modern age.

In the United States, Bianchi headquarters is located in Hayward, California. Today, Bianchi makes bikes in the following categories: Ducati Corse, Hors Categorie, Born For Performance, Coast 2 Coast, Dama Bianca, D2 Special, Classica, Road Steel, MTB Performance, MTB Leisure, Sport, and Cross-Terrain. Of course within each one of these categories lies a number of sleek, high-performance bikes ranging from multi-terrain to classic road bike styles. Also today, fixed gear fanatics like Bianchi bikes for their history, designs, and prestige (they also look great with Campagnolo parts).

Known from originating in Italy, Bianchi bikes now split their production in Italy and Taiwan. Although some may say this has degraded the purity of Bianchi and the prestige as one of the truest road bikes, overseas production has undoubted helped keep costs down and allowed many to discover Bianchi for the first time at an affordable price. In the U.S., the majority of Bianchi bikes sold are made in Taiwan. Only the Reparto Corse category is still made in Italy.
