It's a Campione Del Mondo, early 80's rather than 76. IT'S a Tretubi
model,the main tubes are Columbus SL tubing. The forks and stays are
made of Columbus Aelle tubing which are seamless Manganese Steel not
Chrome-Moly alloy. Aelle forks and stays have slightly thicker walls
than Columbus SL tubes. Hence a bit heavier. The old boy probably up
selling you a French bike shop fantasy ;) Bon aventure ;)Thanks for the info, what exactly tells you from the pics that it's a Campione Del Mondo?
I'm not so sure about it being 80s, though. Bianchi's 1981 catalogue states that all Bianchi's have brazed on cable guides by then.
(And no bike shop fantasy, a nice old guy selling through the classifieds over here, met and had a chat with him, he'd had the bike for years but said he was getting too old for it now.)
