Attaching picture. Seems to have Campagnolo everything...including brake pads. Crank has a number 32 with a square around it. Celeste seat. D/T shifters matching the ones in the 86 catalog picture (which Bianchi Girl has said is actually an 88, right?).
Just looking for an identification and an approximate value. This is my first road bike! Paid $150 for it. Did I get a decent deal? Thanks, everybody!

Are you refering to the catalogs on the BUlgier site? yes the catalog (partial at that) listed as the '86 is actually '88. There are subtle differences between the '88 and '89 one being the frame the 88 being SL and '89 SLX unfortunately someone removed the tubing decals from the frame and fork. Another way is the decal and this one with the redline looks like a '89 to me. Does the shifter for the rear derailleur have a small lever next to the main lever? Or a knurled ring? The 2 levers would make it an '88. Eiter way that is a fabulous bike and I hope you enjoy it for a long time. That origianl Chorus is, IMHO, the most beautiful group Campi ever put out.
