Bianchi Bicycles

Founded in Milan in 1885, Bianchi is the oldest bicycle manufacturer still in continuous production — 140 years of racing heritage carried forward in two current flagships: the Oltre RC, Bianchi's aero road bike shaped by its WorldTour program, and the Specialissima RC, a pure climbing machine refined across decades of Grand Tour racing. Both are available at RA Cycles in complete builds and through a fully configurable custom program — Shimano Di2, SRAM AXS, or Campagnolo Super Record WRL 13s, spec'd to order.

This is the full Bianchi brand collection at RA Cycles: the complete bike range across road, endurance, gravel, and urban disciplines, limited and collector-edition builds tied to Bianchi's racing history, and Bianchi Milano apparel — jerseys, bib shorts, rain jackets, gloves, and accessories for riders who want the celeste aesthetic off the bike as well.

About Bianchi

Bianchi was founded in 1885 in Milan by Edoardo Bianchi. At 20 years old, Bianchi designed a bicycle with equal-sized wheels and chain-driven transmission — departing from the unstable penny-farthing designs of the era and laying the groundwork for the modern road bike. In 1895, he built a custom bicycle for Queen Margherita of Italy. The brand's signature Celeste color — whose origin is genuinely disputed, variously linked to the Milan sky, the queen's eyes, and surplus military paint — became one of the most recognized aesthetics in cycling. In the 1940s and '50s, Fausto Coppi raced Bianchi to multiple Giro d'Italia and Tour de France victories, cementing a legacy that shapes the brand to this day. More recently, Kevin Vauquelin rode a Bianchi to victory in Bologna at the Tour de France's historic Italian start in 2024. Beginning in 2026, Bianchi supplies Team Bahrain Victorious in the UCI WorldTour.

RA Cycles carries the Oltre RC and Specialissima RC in both ready-to-ride complete builds and fully configurable custom options — Shimano Di2, SRAM AXS, and Campagnolo Super Record WRL 13s, with every component open to configuration. Limited and special editions appear in the collection regularly, including collector-grade builds that tie directly to Bianchi's racing history. Bianchi Milano apparel rounds out the collection for riders who want the full celeste kit.

Browse the Bianchi bikes collection for a bikes-only view, or the dedicated Bianchi Oltre RC page for that model specifically. Riders building from a frame up can explore bike frames and framesets. For a broader look at the road bikes RA Cycles carries across all brands, or the full custom build program, both are available.
