Identifying beautiful Bianchi

Hi everyone,
I've recently bought an amazing road bike, that guy sold it for me for ~$300 (800PLN) and couldn't say nearly anything about the bike(it's propably Italian, not Japanese and he said some guy started in TdF and GdI races on this bike - the frame is a bit devastated), so I am trying to find something on my own. For the last month I've been looking through ebay and I have found some old Bianchi catalogs, but there was no bike that looked like this one! I think it's 80s, but I have no confirmation so far. The difference between this one and other bikes is always the back triangle - chromed (there are some scratches on the frame so I can see that the whole frame is chromed and then painted, wow ), Bianchi logo with characteristic 2 stripes - I think they made it that way until early 90s and the fork with characteristic eagle instead of "B" or "Bianchi".

Some comments
-the Gipiemme Tecno 416 front wheel is ***inig amazing! If someone have rear wheel I'd buy it (only 16 spokes! )
-can someone explain what is that cone-cylinder-shaped thing in the front of the frame (one of last pics)? This is killing me since I have this bike.
-SN is B008905 if I decoded it right

Thank you in advance for your effort
