Beautiful bike. It looks like the Giro model in the 1985 catalog
1985 Bianchi catalog
This article about the Celeste or black Bianchi x4 shows the many of the same features. Is the tubing on your bike SLX with rifling inside the tubes at the bottom bracket?

I’ve been through all the catalogs and other scans I can find online and can’t find anything exactly matching this set. Is it possible that it was some sort of team frame or something? I’ve heard Bianchigirll is the authority on this stuff how do we send the beacon out to her lol.

I was gonna say the same...... That frame does not have a Cromovelato finish.
Looks like regular single stage paint.
The frame must be near the top of their model lineup for that year.
Nice to see a regular Columbus SL tubing decal on it.
This must be right before they used their "Formula" tubesets on m9st of their bikes.

Specialissima SL
This frame is an odd Blue Specialissima SL. The fork area shown on this frame was painted on the celeste version of the 85 Specialissima SL.
