I have an old Bianchi that I'm trying to identify - it came out of a barn and has been repainted (badly) so there are no decals - it is stamped Bianchi on the bb & 871315 - it has a B stamped in the top of the lug at the top of the down tube - GIEIMME PATENT stamped around the rt. rear dropout - I've sanded down through the repaint in several spots (looking for decal remnants) and it's Celeste green underneath - crank arms are stamped inside 5/1 170 , 32 in a circle , 9y16"x20 F - 42 & 53 rings - Triomphe or Victory (mostly - I think) - front derailleur is double hinged , rear is Shimano light action (which I assumed is not orig.?) w/ 7 stack - C Record shifters ('87 , '88 ?) - MICHE headset , ttt stem , Kuzuki bars , ROLLS San Marco seat - rear rim is a Weinnman 700c -front is Durex Marchio Despositato Ambrosio 19 - of course I don't know how much of this is original - I'm hoping someone can suggest the year / model and any other helpful info - thanks for your time & knowledge .
