Request for info...Bianchi Veloce

Hi,
I’ve never had a vintage bicycle in my possession but I find myself with a beautiful example of a Bianchi Veloce and I’m hoping that someone can tell me something about her. This bike is being donated to charity and we are hoping to sell her and donate the proceeds to a food bank fund drive that is being held in our area. The bike is absolutely beautiful but I haven’t been able to find anything on the Internet to give me an idea of what it is worth on the open market. Please take a look at the pics and let me know what you think.

Because time is of the essence I have posted this in Classic & Vintage and in Road Cycling. I hope that you won’t mind too much for the cross post but I would like to be able to give some kind of good information to the fund drive organizers by Monday as to what this bike might be worth.













The last pic shows a scrape that is on the seat stay. That is the only damage I can find on the bicycle. It is truly beautiful. It has what appears to be the original Silca pump, which appears to be fully functional but is sun stained. The bike has stickers attesting to the use of Columbus tubing and all components are Campagnolo, with a 6 spd cassette in the rear. The wheels are Mavic G40's with DT Swiss spokes according to the sticker on the wheels. The saddle is obviously not original as it is a Selle Italia with carbon rails (faux or real I can't tell).

If you can give me any info on the bike it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike
