Hi Sivart,

Nice bike! It looks like a newer variant of mine, which also has a tre tubi renforzati (double-butted main triangle) frame and Ofmega crankset and hubset. This would make it mid-grade, just below the Reparto Course full Columbus frames with their full Columbus tubesets. I'll be those chainrings are original; I bought a set of Bianchi-labeled Ofmega cranks on eBay, complete with black anodized chainrings.

The lead "6" in the s/n MAY indicate 1986; we're still trying to sort that out.
