'85 Bianchi: Model?
This has been on CL in my area for well over 2 weeks for $75. Didn't think it would last that long.
Anyone know what model this looks like? tubing? Italian/Japanese? Verify '85? Posted this in CL finds because it appears to be too small for me, but now I'm thinking I'd like to find out a bit more info.

That's what I was thinking. Appears to be small for me, if not I would have been all over it.

Dual bottle bosses generally push things into 1986 for the entry level models. Looks like Shimano Light Action derailleurs. Appears to have a Tange Mangalloy decal on the fork. That plus brazed-on shifter bosses should make it a Sport LX, though I haven't seen this color. Definitely mid-1980s, Japanese manufactured and upper entry level. That's a very good price, assuming there are no major issues.

Found out why said Bianchi is still unsold... Phone # left in ad has been disconnected/ out-of-service.
Found this strangely similar bike in same area..
claims to be a 1987 Strada LX, asking $340
