Also for sale in Canada, so maybe a 1984 Bici II?

Everything is pointing to a mid-1980s, upper entry level, Japanese manufactured model. Ignoring the replacement Axiom post and Sprint rear derailleur, the ARx shift system dates it 1982-1986, while what appears to be Z-series calipers place it no older than 1984. These, in conjunction with the crankset are consistent with a 1984 Bianchi Bici II. I'm not sure if the fork is chromed or not but chromed forks are typical of the Canadian market models of the era. However, it does not appear to have the Piaggio decal used on all 1980-1984 models. Consequently, I suspect it may be a 1985 version, possibly 1986. However, we'd need the serial number to be sure. It would also be informative to have a good picture of the tubing decal.
