Not sure what Model Bianchi this actually is? The bike was given to me as a frame-only fixer-upper for my wife from a friend that owns a bike shop in SF (Bike Nook). The forks were missing, so I had to find her a set, which I did (no-name forks?). Although now, from afar, you'd would not know it's a Bianchi. It was a fairly beat up Celeste Green, so we had it painted. However, the only other optional color for my bride is black!

Being that she's not a hard-core rider, it was built-up more as a comfort cruiser due to her back issues. However, but it's still capable of getting up & going. The only numbers I can find on the frame are stamped in the seat lug that read 3456 on one side & 3.N on the other side. I don't think it's that old of a frame ~ 90's maybe...?

We built it up using some leftover Campy parts I had & I purchased the Campy Record Off-Road brakes/shifters (Bullet Shifters) from a another friend who's a bike mechanic. The MTB bars I got at a LBS & the dual-pivot brakes I bought online. Wheels are: Campy 7-speed cassette, FIR rims w/ UFO tubular tires. This is her 'dream bike' & she absolutely loves it!
