nice looking Bianchi. are the cranks Sugino or the dust caps? it might suprise you to discover two things. 1 that may be the correct kit on that bike. the Nuovo Rec. dreailleurs, Ofmega cranks, and Modolo look pretty standard for a mid '80s Bianchi. 2 if you took a complete Super Record group with a 6spd FW and wheels. it may be lighter that most groups on the road today.

I think what you have there is a '85 Alloro, not Nuovo Alloro just Alloro. the Nuovo Alloro is the next model up. double checks your cranks and look close to be sure the drailleurs are not Grans Sport, that big hexhead bold does not lok like Nouvo Rec.

if it a '85 Alloro it is a Columbus TreTubi frame and Falck fork. I don't know much about painting but my favorite Bianchi was painted with Dupont Imron and it is the best paint I have ever seen and the most unique shade of Celeste. the correct style of decal would be the classic 'flag' decals.

I scored a similar frame, neqarest we can tell is a '83 Nouvo racing, and built it with mostly Super Rec but with newer cranks and brake levers. it turned out nice but I have not ridden it yet.
