It's celeste and has the wavy yellow designs around the model name and down on the chainstays. It has a carbon fork with a 1" threaded steerer, and it has the bent/wavy stays. The downtube is also shaped. I'd post photos but I have to have 10 posts so I can't.
I'm assuming that in this era, BIanchi used the same frame for several bikes and the name simply designated which level of components were attached to it (Veloce, Mirage, etc).
The number stamped into the BB shell is WA9030205A.
In any case, the frameset is in great shape and my plan is to rebuild it with Centaur 11 and ride it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
