Bianchi Identification
Looking for help identifying this bike:
Cyclone in the rear but that hasn't helped me much in determining what it is. Thanks!

Get close-ups of the frame and fork decals.

Pretty sure this is a 1986 Bianchi Premio. Decal set, colour, tubing and Cyclone derailleurs would all be correct. Serial number will go a long way to providing corroboration.

Would say1983 Specialismo or Primio looks to be a none US private import so perfect id might be a bit tricky since Bianchi had about 100 total models at this time and half were blue and look similar.

With the pics provided I agree it certainly appears to be a 1986 Premio in Ice Blue. Tange ChroMoly main frame in SuperSet with Mangalloy stays, Mangalloy fork paired with Cyclone derailleurs and Sprint shifter with 'Light Action' {I won't be so quick to turn my nose up at one of these in the future} Dia Compe Q5000N brakes.
This should be a great riding bike. My first Bianchi had a similar mixed ChroMo frame and Mangalloy stay arrangement, but wif ChroMo fork, and rode quite well.
