Bianchi Giro help?
So I found a semi local Bianchi Giro. It seems to be about a 89. All of the Bianchi Giro's I have seen however have cable stops on the top tube, this one however has a internal route for the rear brake cable? Is this common or was a running a change? Did these come with campy parts stock or no? The seller has all shimano 600 group. He wants $300 but I talked him down to a $250. Still on the fence.

Sorry for the long delay.
I spoked to Miss Bianchigirll about this bike.
I decided NOT to pick up this bike, it had a rather larger and saddened dent in the top tube.
All I can say is it has puzzled both me and Bianchigirll. I saw it and person and I can assure you it does NOT have a internal rear cable guide. That was bad camera angle. However the frame was made from "Tange Ultralight" and the fork was labeled as "cromo".
Any thoughts with such lack of information?
