Hello Satio Welcome to the forums. Where is this bike? It looks like aside from the crank and front derailleur you have mostly 400 EX parts so I would be sleptical of the "all Campagnolo" claim.

I also agree on the repaint, both because of the painted dropout screws and the color combo/style just seems wrong. What brand are the dropouts? Is there anything stamped on the seat stay caps or the frok crown?


The fork is certainly a gonner even from this angle you can tell is is bent. Also in my opinion the Bianchi decals, as T-Mar noted looks late '80s but those yellow eagle Bianchi decals look really out of place.



PS: Looking at some of your last pics I don't see anything imbossed on the fork crown so I think (assuming the fork matches the frame) this is a '88 or 89 frame possibly one of the Formula frames but without knowing the brand of dropouts it is hard to say for sure, especially if this is a non US market bike.

The handle bars look toasted too!
