Ah ok, I see now. Normal for that specific bike part. That makes sense. Thanks for that clarification.

Hi all!
First post in here. I came across this topic while looking after informations about vintage Bianchi's, and it seems to be the best place on the internet to know more about my last bike.
i just got this nice Specialissima (i guess?), but i'm a bit confused about its year (i feel between 81 and 83?).
If someone have a clue, i would be grateful
Edît: can't post pictures?
Frame have a 9.81 right side under seatpost and 846 left side. Nothing else except a star stamped on the bb.

As for the model name, that all depends on the component configuration and market in which it originally sold. Typically, Bianchi would market at least two different models using the same frame and model names were often left to the importer/distributor.

Thanks T-Mar for your answer, it confirms what i though.
it's a shame i can't put pictures yet. The bike have alle the gimmicks of the 81 sp sl minus the chromed lugs. Late models are sometimes different.
it was equipped with a mix of nr/sr components;

Cosmetic items like the amount of chrome can also vary from market to market, depending on local market preferences. So, if your reference catalogue is from another country, don't get upset. For instance, around this time many Canadian market Bianchi models had full chrome forks, while USA market models did not. Upon seeing these models for the first time, most American members comment that the forks have been replaced due to crash, when they are actually factory installed forks.

Looking for a donor bike for another project I stumbled on this Bianchi - it's the only photo but for $60 I'm intrigued. Wondering if anyone has an idea of what it could be, my gut says lower-end late 70s - early 80s but that's purely uneducated speculation.

Hi everyone! I'm new on this forum but have been reading around with lots of interest. I recently bought a vintage Bianchi frame which I want to rebuild. I've been searching a lot for information about what year and model this is, but have so far come up empty. I'm wondering if anyone here could be of help?
The only information I have are the numbers at the top of the seat tube. These are 2354 on one side, and 1*V on the other. There are also some Nuovo Racing stickers, as well as a sticker indicating a Columbus frame. (There are some damaged letters on the rear wheel drops.) I tried uploading photos or including an Imgur link here, but couldn't figure out how to do it until I get 10 posts. (Not sure how to turn them into a gallery, like people said above.)
Any help would be really appreciated!
EDIT: I think I have figured out how to add an album of photos to my profile. Hope that worked.

Since this is a BianchI SN thread, I will add one that was acquired from @randyjawa recently. Model unknown, no stickers but uses 27,2 post.
Based on the numbers on the ST, it is a 1971. Randy did some searching and determined this was one of the last models with an integrated head set, which is in great condition.

P1050693 on Flickr
P1050694 on Flickr - It is a 60cm frame
out of focus shot but that is an "L" on the shell
P1050699 on Flickr
You may have noticed the holes for the brake cable on the TT. I will be filling them. Details are here, Filling top tube holes - Bike Forums
I started a build thread which may take a while to complete. 1971 Bianchi build - Bike Forums

Hello All,
Picked up a used Bianchi Pista. Any help to identify the year of it would be greatly appreciated. The SN is H5F 12456. Located on the bottom frame near bottom branket. Thanks in advance.

After seeing the reply that the tab that looks like a number plate mounting tab is a pump mounting tab, I can not find a picture anywhere of a pump that is mounted using this tab. If anyone has seen such a pump, I'd love to see it and hopefully find one for sale to complete my bike!
