Here's my entry, my son said "it's pink" , I said "so".
Light purple, dark pink, I love it, get compliments wherever I take it.

Is that how it looked when you got it? Looks nice, I really love mine. The color is called Sizzling Peach.

Hi, I'm going to take a look at this tomorrow, can anyone tell me if it's Made in Italy/Japan and what year that decals indicate? Looks like turquoise v. Celeste(?)
Thanks a bunch

That is a 1987 Premio, built somewhere in the Orient, the Tange sticker should be a clue to that. Tange ChroMoly DB in Superset, not 100% sure if that is full ChroMoly or just tretubi. DiaCompe brakes, Sugino VP cranks, shipmano 525SIS, Weinman 27x1 1/8" Alloy rims. The color is Turquoise. It came with drop bars but someone made an upright commuter out of it

I think this barely retailed for arouns $400-425ish. The next model up the Sport SX was $475. I think closer to $250 is a better value for this

Different kind of "Show off your Bianchi pic"
Result of auto drivers fail of Right Turn on Red! I'm OK, spent night in hospital with concussion. My left foot was between frame and car wheel. Nothing broken, just bruised and road rash.

Nope. Started from green light for myself. They failed to stop/look/recognize I was there and rolled through light and struck me on my right and took me down. I was going west to east, they were going north to east (right turn).

People just don't care about other people anymore. People passing stopped school buses is almost common these days. How do you not see a guy on a bike? How do you not see a stopped school bus?

Man! Thank God you're ok! Your bike looks scary, tells how hard you were hit. When I first scrolled down to the picture I was hoping you were going to say that you left it in the driveway and someone ran over it.

Here is one I picked up yesterday:
I spotted this on my local CL advertised as a Campione d'Italia and couldn't resist taking a look and well, who are we kidding here, bringing it home. It's not a CdI but an early/mid 90s Bianchi Reparto Corse SBX frame/fork with a full workingman's 105 group on it. This frame deserves better than that but the Shimano stuff is great for now - it's got new consumables, and everything is tuned nicely, as the bike was supposed to be for the guy's son but his son outgrew it in a few months. I swapped out the stem and some stuff and took it on an hour long ride this afternoon and it rides beautifully. I haven't found another red SBX frame in my searches so I'm not sure how common these were. It's not celeste but it's still pretty cool.

Can't really be wrong, just more right than not.
