I am looking forward to building it up, but I am short on the cash to do so. I am not sure what the componets were originally, but it does have a Shimano bottom bracket installed.
Is there actually someone out there compiling and trying to decipher this information, or is it just a "show us your Bianchi" thread. I'm hoping it's the former because I noticed some similarity between this number and mine. This is a rather abused reparto corse with what I think is a non-original fork. I had assumed it was a early 90's model, but think it may be a little earlier now.
Serial # 59 on one side of BB. On the other is what looks like an I-230.
