Up for sale is a 2006 Bianchi Oetzi Worlds special edition made to commemorate the world champion and olympic gold medal winner Julien Abasalon. There are not many of these bikes around and this one is in excellent condtion. It has less then 25 rides on it, maybe totaling 200 miles at best. If you want to ride the best hardtail on the market there is no doubt that this bike ranks in the top 3 if not number 1. It handles like you are on rails and transmits all your power to the trail. This bike will make you faster and climb better and that is not just a line of crap. Although it is made to be an all out race bike, it has had a few part changes to make it more comfortable for longer rides and suitable to fit my weight and riding style. This bike is by far my favorite bike of ALL TIME and it tears me apart to have to sell it, but I am getting married in September and I have seven bikes-some things must go. I need the cash and I just don't ride off road as much as I used to (yes, I am a roadie). You will love this bike!! See below for the the parts listing and info. Geometry can be found on Bianchis website and go to the bike archive to find it there.

As with any used bike it has normal wear-scuff marks, small chips and blemishes but I have tried to show what I could. In no way does it effect the ride nor can it even be seen without close scrutiny. This bike has been very well maintained by mechanics and it has never once been crashed. It has been washed and waxed reguraly and gets treated more like a road bike then a mountain bike. I really, really hate to part with it but my options are pretty limited right now.
