Got some photos of my old Bianchi, I have no idea what model or year it could be. I got it as a frame and fork and converted it to single speed. Think it is a lower end bike. Any help would be great!

Boss Hogg,
I'm not a Bianchi afficionado, but I can tell you those decals are from
the 60's. From the eyelets on the rear dropout
it appears to be a touring frame. Maybe a tourisimo? The super tourisimo's
I've seen had bars similiar to a 3 speed, chain guard etc.
I'ts not a top of the line bike, but it isn't a total bottom feeder.
You might want to get onto Classic Rendezvous and ask there

Whatever the model, its old and worth restoring.

Good Luck,
Marty

You have a mid 1960s, low-end basic carbon steel model, probably originally equipped with either Huret Allvit or Campag. Valentino gear.

The dropouts have no spring-nut, and would be an inexpensive model. Is there a tubing sticker anywhere?
