That cromo frame will be around for a long, long time after the alu/carbon frameset has gone to the great bicycle boneyard in the sky. What model Bianchi do you have?

EDIT: I can't tell from your post if you're replacing your bike because the parts are worn out, or because you feel it's dated. The cromo double-butted tubing is a very good frame. SunTour was a manufacturer of very high-quality components. Unless the bike isn't meeting your needs, or is worn out, there's really no need to replace/rebuild. Unless it makes you happy.
