Bikes: A few too many

The Red Headed Bianchi

Hello to all,
It is my understanding that most people regard Celeste painted Bianchi's as the most desirable but I always like to chart my own path. Although I had promised myself not to buy another bike, I had a hard time passing this one up. It was the first day of class and I had a few seconds before the starting so I decided to check out some local adds, this one popped up the moment I opened the site.
Normally I try to do a little research on the model but with full Campagnolo and the right size, I quickly messaged the seller saying that I was in and no haggling. The price seemed too good to be true and I thought I might be on a wild goose chase....I received a call from the seller and a time to meet.
I thought it could still be a scam but the meeting place the seller suggested just minutes from my home so I felt it was worth giving it a go. When I arrived I gave the seller a call and the rest was good. The bike has no dents or paint loss, it needs a change of HB's&stem, new consumables and a good spit shine but at the moment it appears that's all that is needed. I will know more when I break it down.
Best, Ben

As purchased, before teardown...I will know more this weekend.
