Date my Bianchi FG Lite
Hopefully you didn't come here to attempt to have a relationship with my bianchi and you have a keen eye on figuring out the year of Bianchi's 
I recently picked up an old FG Lite which I have always wanted. However I can't find another one on the internet that is the same and can't figure out which year it is. I believe they started making the FG Lite at end of 2004. It's not the liguigas or the Di Luca version. It has the carbon forks but no carbon rear stay. The graphics are the HOR category. Pic is below:
It looks like the liquigas version from 2006 without the sponsor decals but then it has the older Bianchi tube logo without the black background. Making me think it must be one of the first ones like 2004 before they started pumping out the liquigas versions?
2006 Liquigas:
I just found the FG Lite at the below link, which looks identical (even has the bianchi badge on the inside of the seattube aswell), which he is saying is 2007, but seems to have an updated fork. Whether he updated his or mine has been changed?

Any sherlock's out there with any clue's? As I'm just confused

And, I'm currently dating both a Guru and a Masi. We have an open relationship.

Haha.
Found out it is actually a 2008 FG Lite HOC's category. As soon as you add the HOC in google search there are a bunch like it. Thanks!

My Bianchi might get jealous.
Hopefully someone will come along with a more useful post. Good luck!
