Nope, you just need ten posts and then you will be allowed to upload pictures. The ten post rule is in place to reduce and/or eliminate spam. So...

Look at and comment on at least nine more items, then show us your pictures.

Also, did you intend to type Vontage or Vintage?

And, by the way, welcome to Bike Forums.

The original Bianchi model with the black stays and forks was the 1986 Bianchi X-4, which Argentin rode to win the 1986-1987 World Championships in Colorado Springs. Over the next couple of years, Bianchi brought out several Argentin replica models to celebrate his victory. Most were X-4. These are identified by a black head with an engraved Bianchi logo filled with gold paint. The tubesets were typically Columbus SLX/SPX or TSX.

However, there were also lesser replicas. In the USA there was a Bianchi Limited SL. It had the black stays and forks but used a celeste head tube with a standard Bianchi decal. These frames used a Formula Two tubeset. Other countries almost certainly had other variants on the Argentin replica theme.

Also, we've several fake Argentin replicas created by owners, simply by painting the stays and forks black.

Pending photos, the serial number and tubeset may help us determine which frameset you have. Also, whether there is rectangular or round Campione del Mondo 1986-1987 decal, typically located on the down tube, just above the shift lever bosses.

Thanks for the info. This one has the engraved logo on the head tube but no sticker near the shifters.
