Pending photos, the serial number, Bianchi Formula tubing and Modolo America brakeset would almost certainly indicate a 1986 Brava. 1986 was the first first year for the Bianchi Formula tubesets, though the specs indicate Formula II tretubi with Aelle forks. The components were SunTour Sprint derailleurs with Modolo America brakes and Ofmega crankset, hubs and pedals. The spec saddle was a Selle Royal Mundialita. The lead character in the serial number probably represents the year of manufacture, making it either a 1986 model or a 1987 model manufactured in late 1986. However, the 1987 model was full Shimano New 105, so a 1986 model remains the best candidate.
