Which Model Bianchi?
Hi All,
I am a lurker in the background, but recently I came across this Bianchi, stated to be from 1986 from the owner and he/she says it's a Mondiale where he is the first owner. Something just doesn't seem right to me. The Bianchi logo sticker from that year for the Mondiale doesn't look like that. Can anyone shed some light on what this bike might be?
Thanks!
Note: Just realized I can't post pictures yet. But the tube Bianchi stickers looked like those from a '87 Specialissima X4 (with the blue and yellow trapezoidal shape blocks), but it wasn't a X-4 because it didn't have silver fork crowns on top. Also it was stated to be Campy Super Record components throughout.

@PTL011, You have ten posts now, so you can post pics.
@Bianchigirll is always a good resource for these bikes.

People in there are saying it's a 83 Specialissima SL with a weird fork...

Thanks for replying to my post. I actually thought that something went wrong and this post was not posted. I posted a similar post called "Please Help Identify This 80s Bianchi". Somebody helped me upload the pictures on that thread. The pictures for that Bianchi, on their suggestion, is already uploaded in my profile under the album called "Please Help Identify This Bianchi, Thanks!".
