Any information on this Bianchi?
Hello,
I purchased this Bianchi off Craigslist, owner said it was a 1991 Reparto Corse. I was wondering if anyone had additional information on it?
Here was the original ad and additional pics I took.
thanks!

That's a modern bike, probably 2005ish. No way that's 1991.

Well, this doesn't add up at all. Velocé wasn't introduced until 1993 and the 10 speed version wasn't released until 2004. The single pivot brakes are much older. The SBX frames in 1991 were lugged and this one says Chromolite. which is an entirely different tubeset. The bicycle is is not in original condition, not from 1991 and not SBX,

It's weird because I wonder want to know what year the frame is..
I've seen "san remo" reparto corse's that look very similar. However, this bike doesn't have the "san remo" on the top tube decal.
