Ah thanks for the heads up! Any idea what year the crankset is?
So another thing I noticed today was the seat cluster lug seems to be off center. It appears to be purely cosmetic and doesn't change the ride quality of the bike at all but it is something I feel a company like Bianchi would catch before it shipped out. Could someone have possibly built there own frame somehow with a Bianchi bb shell or stamped that themselves? But why would anyone go through all the trouble of hand making a custom frame to their particular tastes and then go through even more trouble to make it look like something it isn't? It's like the farther we get into this the more confusing it becomes. Do you guys think it would be worth contacting Bianchi on and running the serial numbers by them? Hopefully they would have documentation of it seeing as it had to have been made in the past 15 years.
