Doesn't mean all of them were mislabeled, but if you really want SLX be sure to check the tubing butts inside the BB shell.
That would be mine now :-)
I believe the tubing mix is because Bianchi made the frames for these and that was normal for them. Labeled SLX meant little.
The original group is missing from this one too.
Mine is mostly Shimano TriColor,
