Caveat Emptor. Well it is a European frame so I am no expert but it looks late '80s to me and the seller even calls it a late '80s. The style of the forkcrown, pump peg, dual bottle mounts, short dropouts with a eye in the drop (looks like GipMe drop to me) all conspire to make look late '80s. The big braze-on brake brace or whatever in the bridge, and lack of cartouche on the stay caps make me think less than Columbus. Also the decals look funny. tha block style looks off compared to the other graphics and the headbadge lacks all the fine print below it, also I don't recall seeing many Bianchis with a headbadge on the seat tube.
