I recently sold my bianchi veloce it was from the mid 90's it was a Reparto Corse and it was tight. It had the unicrown fork like the one in this thread. The veloce gruppo is near the top of the campi line up, like the 3rd or 4th down for that time period. Mine had the STI shifters. The point I was trying to get across to banjo was that there were two levels of bianchis the handmade racing frames and the production frames. From what I have read the production frames from japan are still assembled in italy so they are make in italy at least that is what the stickers say. The main difference is in the type of steel used to produce the bikes.
