Can you help to identify these frames, bikes or parts?

CD, not everyone can be right all of the time, being an adult means showing humility and good grace when evidence casts our opinions into doubt - accept it, smile and have a nice day

ice-cream everyone!

They are 8 speed campagnolo

so no earlier than 1991, probably no later than 1997, when 9 speed was introduced.

within 8 speed there was an evolution, follow it here > http://branfordbike.com/articles/cassettes-and-cogs-pg60.htm < this will give a tighter window on possibility of when the hubs were made.

of course it may be that old hubs have been laced onto new rims, such is life..

a few pics of the rear hub and free hub body would indicate which range and possibly pinpoint the year

I can't believe it's not butter!

Sorry to kick you in the teeth when you're down but I.Just noticed yet another budget feature on your frame - bashed in chainstays. Dead give away on cheap frame builds. You'll notice this Superissima has totally round, dent free chainstays, yours has the dents on both chainstays, to give a wider clearance with cheap, plain gauge, Falck/Aelle tubes.

Sorry mate, that and everything else nails it as 'budget'.

For anyone who isn't bored senseless by the above, here's a comprehensive photo gallery of a pukka Superissima, c 1982/83. They've barely changed in design since the 1960's:

it's a right old conundrum then, as this 'accredited' reparto corse specialissima has crimped chainstays:

Here's my final take on your Bianchi

If only it was...

I'm not down. This is good distraction from all the carnarge here in Paris at the moment.

I am fed up with trying to be polite, though...
(EDIT: less than polite stuff removed, as life's too short)

Thanks. That's one I saw online, and I didn't see any reason to believe it was fake.

I still don't know what mine is. I've been trying to find the email address of the guy I bought it from, but I did a de-cluttering number on my emails a couple of years ago. I might have his phone number somewhere, I'll have a hunt.

Meanwhile, I'm going for an ice-cream.

You haven't come up with a single piece of evidence to suggest your frame is anything other than I've described. Them's the facts. Not one. You're clearly a novice in vintage bicycle. Fair play, but most people are glad to be pointed in the right direction. I suggest you pay the cash, join the Bianchi registry and then come back here in a month with your head held low.

Low end Bianchi's were also manufactured in Japan in the early 1980's and then re-imported into Italy, with apparently cheap Ishiwata tubing.

'We've seen cases of dozens of models being being offloaded to Japan for a couple of years, then being brought back to Italy. It's all comes down to economics and the relative value of the yen to the lira. Most of Bianchi's entry and mid range models were being manufactured in Japan in the early 1980s.'

I do appreciate your churlish, devil may care attitude. If you have a trawl through my previous correct IDs (about 50 of them) you'll appreciate why you're on your own from here on in.

'You just ignore everything you don't like'.. They should nail that on your headstone. You have a somewhat magical sense of irony.

A little bit of gratitude goes a long fucking way. Enjoy your ice cream.

Et voila...!

Any other (open minded) opinions on the frame still welcome, thanks.

It's definitely a Claud Butler, but one of those that were sub-contracted to Port Talbot Steelworks when demand went through the roof. You can tell by the way the cable guides are brazed on.

Bottom of the barrel gas-pipe budget frame, definitely not 70s... this one?

That was made in Taiwan. Can't you even support British manufacturing in your posts here when you're already a traitor living in Frenchitain?

Sorry.

Found one on here that looks pretty much identical (and even smaller than mine), but yet again no model name given:

Anyone know which model this Look is? It's an aluminium aero but can my finger on the model.

It's a Look AL 264. It's pukka.

First sensible thing you've contributed in three pages. Merci bien.

@ColnagoDaft I love the AL264p and can't believe I didn't clock this as the road version... I thought they only did the road v. in the blue...guess not!

Liking the Zipp hardware. Plush.
