I will get a pic of the weld tonight, at work right now. There is no sentimental value in it, and it won't be my first bike. I was just looking for a project to keep my hands busy over the winter.

I'm sure I can find a doner bike that I can strip for parts.

The reason I guessed 89 was because I thought that was the first year with the unicrown fork? I've always wanted an old Bianchi, this one was on it's way to the dumpster, so I thought I might be able to finally get one at a good price, free that is.
