hhmm lots of great tales here. If it is OK (since I already posted a short version) I will review my procurment. unless otherwise noted they are of course Bianchis. chronological order

'87 Sport SX, Japan, purchased new, my first ever new bike, with leftover funds after my '67Bug was rearended
'90 Proto, Italy, bough as a frameset and built with a few used items, from my 88 Leggera warranty trade, but mostly new
'81 RIGI, Italy, Crit frame only. see earlier post 2nd owner
'93 Project 3, bought new at my unsuccesful little bikeshop, after selling my Olympus rwuipped '91 Cdale
'00 MegaProXL Ti, Italy, bought new
'09 Motobecane Fantom Uno, China?, new
'90(?) Boarala, Italy, bought frame only, I am the 3rd owner
'90 Proto, Italy, shortly after joining BF I was contact by the owner and offered his "dream bike", I am the 4th owner I believe
'87 Cornelo, Italy via Netherlands, bought frame NOS off a great gentleman on Ebay
'86 Volpe, Japan, purchased via a long process from a fellow C&Ver, 3rd owner
'88 Grizzly, Japan, I keep misidentifying this as a 87 but it is an 88. found on CL, 2nd owner
'89 Equinox, Japan, I was approached by shortterm BF member, it had less than 50mi when I purchased it. and it has a odd story
'90s something Vento 603, Europe, frame from ebay, Sante from various C&Vrs. NOS but third hand to me
'97 Ti Megatube, Italy, scored off ebay much to my delight, 2nd owner
'88 Trofeo, Italy, purchased from CL with the wonderful assistance of ChickagoAl

there are actually, like the rest of you, 4 bikes here that are in limbo looking for a new home

I hope my little stroll down memory lane didn't bore you too much
