I got it from an old bianchi catalog. I found it on this guys personal website:website (http://www.bulgier.com/pics/bike/Catalogs/)

He's got a bunch of catalogs from the '80's. If you have a high-end road bike, he's probably got the catalog for it. Unfortunalty, my road bike is not high-end enough, so mine isn't there.

That is one cool frame for sure, but who would put a water bottle cage on it (note the cage mounts on the down tube)

now looking at it, if you look at the DT shifters, there is no cable...
is it internally routed?

That is not a Bianchi. That is a C4 carbon frame with Bianchi decals. Bianchi never made this frame.

I remember this bike fromt he catalog... I was 13 or 14 I guess... just getting into road riding, at least I thought so, on my Huffy Techtralite, but I always wanted a Bianchi, or a Puegeot.. but I remember seeing that Carbon bike either in an ad or a catalog... I though it was amazing... I absolutely wanted one, they looked so cool.. especially in Bianchi Green
