I purchased a Bianchi yesterday and I need a hand with some ID confirmation.
I belive it is a "Specialissima". I believe this because that is what it says on the non-dive side chainstay.
The serial # on the seat lug is 108 and on the other side it is stamped 3.83, is this a build date?
It has chromed fork crown, fork tips (campagnolo), chainstay, seatstay caps, and rear dropouts (campagnolo).
One set of water bosses, two slot cutouts on BB shell, engraved "B" on fork crown, lower headlug and seatcap has it in a circle. Allen nut brake mounting.
It has a mix of parts but I will skip those for now as it is easy to throw one off and the "specialissima" was available as a frame and fork anyways.
Now here is the monkey wrench!!! It has a Columbus "Tre Tubi" tubing decal on the seat tube. hmmm??? WTH? A monday build? A rogue decal in the mix? Not a "specialissima"?
What say ye?
I lol'd so hard.
