Was it an NR, a Campione?

You can see part of the evil headtube crack in these shots.. :(

Well, the component mix is typical of a Campione d'Italia or Nuovo Racing. The total lack of chrome has me leaning towards the latter. What's the serial number?

That looks very similar to my charcoal-color Bianchi, but mine lacks mudguard eyelets and has a bit of chrome onf the fork crown and B pantographing at the tops of the seat stays. Mine also has under-the-BB gear cable routing and came with a PAT 80 Campagnolo NR rear derailleur and Ofmega SX cranks, rather than Bianchi-labeled Ofmegas. My S/N is 1.M9914. I have been told mine is a 1981 Cam. d'Italia, but I am not positive about the identification. Mine came with Modolo Speedy brakes and Campagnolo Gran Sport pedals, as well.

barth-karl: What is your serial number?

I'm thinking it's a Nuovo Racing. lack of chrome, and more importantly the eyelets. I'm also calling it an 83 as a shot in the dark. it looks a lot like mine and by john e's estimate, which I believe is accurate, my M3 serial number makes it an 83. I refer to mine as the Campione d'Sonoma

Yes, Nuovo Racing or Alloro. Campione would not have eyelets.

Anyone have catalog info for an '82 or '83 NR? I am wondering what the tubing is - columbus?

Thanks
