I would have to disagree. They may be Bianchi decals but they do not look correct for a '84 Trofeo wich I am not even sure there was a Trofeo then (and I can't look it up for a few weeks). A script model decal was only used in '87 and an 84ish through 87 decal would have the "flag" style with a slight shadowing. Also as stated a Trofeo would more than likely be a Bianchi Special or Formula type tubing. SL/SP mix would be reserved for Super Leggera and Mondiale models.

I'm sure you are correct. He did show me the sales receipt for the frame which said it was an '84 (some small dealer in CA), but I never saw the bike until much after the repaint. It does look very similar to the one that callig posted.
