Well - I personally have never seen a non-Italian/Columbus Brava. That one is made with Tange and has a unicrown fork. Every single Brava I've encountered has a fork crown, and is made with...

I'm going to remark that for those dating Bianchis based on the 7.A inscription on the BB (the "7" denoting 1987), that although that is when the bike was made, it isn't necessarily the year that it...

Hi

L.8 on the BB, from what I understand, means the frame was built in 1988 (for the 8), and either December (L, 12th letter for 12th month), or the 2nd half of June (where each letter corresponds...

What colour is the frame? If it's celeste (greenish-bluish colour), then it's likely a Trofeo.

The burgundy red says Campione D'Italia (or whatever spelling) on the other side of the frame that wasn't photographed. So I guess it's a 1988. I'll claim the celeste CDI as a 1989 and the Quattro...

My Quattro is all original and I know what you are talking about. "Quattro" appears everywhere on the bike - on the hubs, the RD, the FD, the crank arms, the shifters. Gipiemme seatpost.

So any thoughts on this? My reason for posting to this thread was to say that I have a "7" stamped CDI, whose decals do not match those in the 1987 catalog. They match the 1988 catalog. So do I...

OK - here's the pics of my bikes with their BB shells.

This is the 1987 English-language Bianchi catalogue. It clearly says 1987 so it is definitely cataloguing "1987" bicycles.

Quick Q.

I have a couple late-80s Bianchis. They have their manufacture month/year stamped into the BB shell. I know if its stamped "8", this corresponds to 1988. So does this make it a 1988 or a...
