I haven’t dug into exact year. It is 8 spd though.
I already bought different decals for it. I was just not a fan of the black with silver surround it looks too contemporary for me. Many folks on here seem to be purists of originality. To me if the bike doesn’t have much value in the market for its originality I prefer my bikes to have the look I want. Gives me a project I actually enjoy. I have many projects with work I don’t particularly enjoy.
As Bianchi goes I really like the red decals over Celeste so that is what it will be.
Bianchigirl, it is superset 2 made with dedeccai. It is also tre tubi. If I got my hands on a very original bianchi race bike or any other manufacturer from say the 1970 or 80s I would not make any changes. But this 90s machine really is a sweet spot imo it’s has standard proportions, lugged steel, normal old school head tube, but with os downtube ovalised only at the bottom bracket. It’s a win win win
