So if there are any Bianchi mountain bike catalogs out there from 87/88 I could probably figure it out pretty quick but I'm a little less interested now! The alloy wheels were worth what I paid for it anyway. I already had a frame lying around that needed a set.

Probably use it as practice to get the spray paint off for my other Bianchi frame I got with a cheesy rattle-can job then use it as a SS grocery getter as my other one is needing some attention.
With that celeste paint, you may have a Grizzly, Bianchi's top-end mountain bike. Definitely
87 or 88, and definitely worth removing the rattlecan black to see what's underneath.

EDIT: It looks like it's welded, not lugged, so it may not even be a Bianchi...
