Looks like the frame and the fork are Ishiwata Mangy:







Magny is not a very commonly seen Ishiwata tubing this side of the Pacific, and unlike the 019, 022 etc CroMo tubing material is a Manganese alloy (nothing to do with aluminum, btw ) and double butted, very much like Reynolds 531 (as a matter of fact, when Trek used Ishi tubing for their bikes in addition to Reynolds, a lot of their 531 frames had Magny stays.) Not quite 531, but higher quality IMHO than the later Tange superset (900 and 1000 mix) Bianchi Sport SX frames.

Bianchigirll, that Piaggio (Vespa ) sticker would make it an 82-83ish, correct?
