Technically, the seller does not claim it was a bike used by the team.

"This Bianchi frameset is a Team model, their top of the line model."

I am no Bianchi expert, but I believe the top of the line model in the late 50s was the Specialissima. Either way, I would not purchase this based on the written desciption. The photos on the other hand are superb. That is one pretty bike. Equipping it with excellent condition period correct parts will not be cheap.
