I am not really sure what the serial numbers scheme is.
Unless something is broken there is no need to replace or upgrade anything. I would check the chain for stretch and replace it if needed, a KMC chain would be perfect for this.
If you wanted to go to something a 8,9,10+ speed you can easily do that with this frame but you may need to have the rear triangle spread or coldest to accommodate the wider axle.

Hello all. I just picked up a 1987 Mondiale frame that came with a couple of random Campy C-Record X-4 Panto parts.
Serial Number: I.6 / 22850 ...metallic paint...I think that checks out.
...here's the part I don't understand. There is a "T" stamped on the BB right before the "I.6". "T" is also stamped on the steerer tube.
What's up with the "T"?

Thanks for the quick reply, Bianchigirll!
Here are a couple of photos. From the research I've done, I'm 99% sure this is a 1987 Mondiale...It has chrome plated Gipiemme dropouts which were standard and the chrome chainstay on the drive side only. Paint appears to be original Metallic Celeste....lighter teal with a small hint of sparkle I'm just not sure what the "T"s are for...team? Let me know if you need to see additional pics.

That is an '87 alright. Mine was a lot whiter than most. I have no idea what the Ts are for they almost look like some sort of marking to match frame and fork.

I just picked up what I think to be a 1987 Bianchi. It has the Campione De Mondo sticker on the downtube as well as a bicycle registration sticker for the city of Honolulu that expires in December 1987. I picked it up because it's a 63-64cm size and they are hard to find in my area. After riding it awhile the top tube seems a bit too short for me so I'm trying to find something else. After further examination I'm starting to think this might not be a Bianchi. I have never seen a welded on kick stand bracket for any Bianchi and only a few with the derailer cable mounted welded on top of the chain stay, most I've seen are in the bottom. My other Bianchi has a chain hanger and the little nipple on the head tube for a strap. This seems to have neither, also the serial seems odd and none of the Bianchi catalogs I've seen online have anything that closely resembles this bike. The bike was maybe brought to Hawaii or purchased new there, not sure but I know there's a history considering I just bought it in Florida of craigslist.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi, My first post on the forum is a question, sorry about that but this is driving me crazy lol.
Im hoping somebody can help Identify this. I picked it up as a 90% complete bike (I've put the bars and saddle on it to make it rideable) with a light resto and Eroica Britannia 2016 in mind. But this is my first foray into wonderful world of Bianchi and TBH I have little to no idea what I have! It was advertised as a '70's bike' but after a few days going through this thread and others Im thinking its more low end early to mid 80's Bianchi?
Frame number is 701848 stamped on the head tube and other than Bianchi stamped on the rear drop outs I cant find any other markings. It has Ofmega headset and cranks, Simplex mechs/shifters with drilled Weinmann levers and calipers.
I like it, It rides lovely I would just like to know a little more about it. Thank you and sorry about the first post

Hey Ross,
I am in exactly the same position as you with exactly the same frame, albeit with an earlier frame number and not in as good condition yet.
I've searched through hundreds of pictures and threads trying to match up that notching in the headlugs and yours is the first i have found in nearly a month.
Mine has been bastardised with many replacement parts over the years before i got it and i'm not sure if anything is correct at all.
Yours is nearer to how i want mine to finish up than how it is now.
When i got it it had steel handlebars, steel wheels and steel seatpost and i'm not sure if that is how it was originally or if someone has just fitted what they had laying around,
I've swapped out a few bits with their lighter aluminium counterparts to get some idea of how its going to ride when its done and i really do like the way it rides.
To be honest i think the key to k=finding out what model we have is that lugwork

I don't think your decals match the year of the bike. can you post some more information and pics? What are some of the components? an you post some closeups of the dropouts, seatlug and bottom bracket (BB) area? Any idea of the BB threading?

I was thinking it was a low end model Bianchigirl. I also agree with you as to the reason you give of why would someone fake one without going full campy etc..
But I don't think it's a Strada LX. I've check 3 catalogs from 87-88 and none show the upper shifter cable holder on the chain stay, all are on the bottom. As well as the lack of kickstand plate. And they have unicrown forks without the Bianchi engraving. If you have a link to a pic of one like mine I would be greatly appreciative.

I have my suspicions on the decals as well! after a very close inspection this morning I think its been painted (badly) and re-decaled. Component wise it came to me with Ofmega headset, Ofmega chainset 53-42, Simplex mechs and shifters (band on) I have put the bars and saddle on it out of my spares bin. weinmann brakes, unsure on the block but its 6 speed and pretty much scrap!
Seat lug has '72' stamped on it (couldn't see it at first. perhaps I need new glasses lol) and is 26.46mm, the dropouts have Bianchi stamped on them. Ive dropped the BB out and its Italian threaded!

What country is this in? I am not sold on the repaint but I do think it is a midlevel early '80s bike that someone put a decal on that was more common in the mid '80s.
