1981, Japanese manufactured, Canadian market model, entry level, most likely a Bianchi Bici.

It has a Bike Shop Decal from a Pennsylvania Bike Shop. Which makes sense because I am located in the Baltimore area.
Somebody offered me a Cannondale Delta V 900 Mountain Bike with the purple, and black color scheme (93 Model I think) in similar condition for trade.
I am not a wrencher. I just clean em up, and sell em. Unless I really like them of course.
Thanks for help with I.D.-ing the Bianchi.

I didn't think they used that decal scheme in the USA. If it's a USA model, it's probably a Sport, though it's definitely Japanese manufacture from 1981.

It's marked "Standard" on the cross bar.

That sounds like a killer swap, I'd jump on the offer!
