Bianchi SS
Anyone have details on this? I can't seem to find other examples with chrome fork socks.
Early 80's given non-aero brakes, assuming.
would be interested in year, frame, and components.

What does the lettering say on the top tube?
Edit: am guessing "Sport SS."
I saw one that looks a little older here: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/171419708712

not my photo, but I think you're correct with "Sport SS"

The Piaggio decal, in conjunction with the logo style, places this 1983-1984. The derailleurs appear to be first generation Shimano 105, a.k.a. Golden Arrow. The brakes appear to be Dia-Compe. Aluminum rims. Missing pedal dust cap. The 1982 had a Mangalloy, double butted main triangle, so I would expect this to be equal or better. Almost certainly made in Japan. The S/N would corroborate the year and origin.

I did find this ebay add for the same model, which provides more info via photos, but is not listed by a bike enthusiast. So, no more credible info..
