I have an amusing sidenote to add to this.
While vacationing in Turkey recently, I noticed a large number of Bianchis tooling around the city streets. At a distance, they looked a bit funny, some with really cheap looking full suspension. On closer inspection, some appeared to have the kind of front fork dropouts where the tubing is merely crimped then slotted for the front wheel axle. No Bianchi is that crappy.
Clearly someone has a successful Bianchi decal manufacturing business going.
