A long time ago, in what seems like a different galaxy, I was also given a Bianchi Bike. 1982 the touring bike was given to me, however, as I have read there are not any other markings regarding what the "model" of it may be. I would definately like some help in this area, or just point me in the right a better direction. Raleigh hand grips; Suntour Derailer; Serial Number unreadable.

Thank you--

Bill B:)

Hello Bill welcome to the forums. please post a few pics for us. since you say it has Raleigh handgrips that means it has flat or "upright" handlebars? if that is orginal (not the grips though) it really narrows it down but pics are a must.
