Bianchi Megaset Frame Information

Greetings everyone. I came across a Bianchi Megaset frame the other
day at a shop, never built, and bought it for a damn good price. The
only problem is, I'm not into cycling (but would like to). I don't
know anything about this frame, and can't seem to find anything about
it on the web. From what I can guess, it is a Mountain Bike Frame,
correct? What would the frame be made out of? I can find only the
following information on the frame: "zero flex design" "Megaset"
"CR-MO Butted Tubing Tange MTB" "Campione Del Mondo" and on the bottom
of where the crank goes the following #s H7N2 2385. Can you tell what
size the frame might be? Where would I be able to find frame
information? A friend told me that it was a Mountain bike, and was a
hard tail. The frame was all wrapped up, and is in pristine shape, not
to mention very very light. Well, please let me know what you do!
Thanks again

Cr-Mo indicates a Chromium-Molybdenum Steel alloy (which is the normal
material for modern steel bike frames). Beyond that, I can't tell you
much about it.

Your best bet would be to return the frame to the shop for credit against a
new bike, and then spend a bit of time figuring out what type of riding
you'd like to do. Ask the shop about the cycling opportunities in your
area; could be that there's some great mountain biking that you might think
would be fun. Or, could be that there aren't any good places to ride
off-road, but lots of great lightly-traveled roads nearby.

Starting off with a random frame of random size & type is certainly an
interesting way to proceed, but not likely to produce a positive cycling
experience.

Thanks Mike, I live here in Utah, so there are no shortages of places
to go and mountain bike! I bought the frame for 15 dollars, at a
thrift shop, so all in all, I've done pretty good I figure. I guess
what I'll do, is take the frame into a bike shop and have them take a
look at it.
Thanks again!

OK, now things make more sense. $15 at a thrift shop isn't much of an
investment, and I had assumed you'd purchased something from a bike shop.
Let us know how it all works out-
