First posting although I have been a member for a while.
Please can you assist me identify the model, year of manufacture and what type of tubing was used for my Bianchi frame.
Unfortunately the frame was obtained in this stripped down condition and I don't have any idea as to the paint work (other than it was painted in celeste), decals, etc. After spending the weekend Googling and going through all the info I think the frame was a lower spec early 80's Bianchi but don't know when the Bianchi logo was changed on the seat stays. The frame doesn't appear to have been nickel plated like my Super Leggera.
Please if you can also advise the place of manufacture, i.e. Italy, Japan it will be appreciated.
The frame number is 2888 on right of BB and 9 . G on the left with Bianchi in the middle.
It has 27mm seat post and Gipiemme rear dropouts. Forks dropouts are not stamped. Has 36 x 24T BB. Other distinguishing items are three top tube cable guides, bottle cage mounts on both down and seat tube. Rear gear cable guide is on the bottom of the stay.
The frame size is 53cm (seat tube 52cm centre to centre, top tube length 53cm).
I tried to send a message to Bianchi.com but received a message failure report.
Many thanks for any any assistance you are able to provide.
