Bianchi - Cecilia - Road bicycle - 1941

1941 Bianchi Autarchica model produced by Bianchi with cadmium plating on the white parts following the proclamation of Autarchy of the Fascist Regime. The bike is in excellent condition, nearly like new, completely original: Bianchi Superflex saddle in horsehair with gold threads and clearly defined tacks, perfect decals, horn grips and small horn knobs, Bosch lighting group, and white glass gem on the rear fender; rear fender painted white as required by the period law for blackout; ETERNA iron paraveste (shield) nearly unobtainable; 26 x 1/2 rims. Restoration carried out impeccably with no components replaced, as if it had just left a Bianchi dealer — a museum-quality historic specimen.
