It is featured as:
- serial number on bottom bracket only: 694077
- Suntour dérailleur / downtube shifters (friction)
- "Made In Italy" sticker
- "Tre Tubi" sticker (indicating it is not 100% Columbus?)
- spring loaded tensioners on forward facing horizontal dropouts.
- not celeste, but a bluish green color
- Modolo brakes
Any info would be great!

I've got the same bike. My Bianchi Brava is a 1983 model (I can't confirm it but I think I saw one in Flicker that's exactly the same as my bike, therefore I just concluded that mine is an '83 too). My bikes serial # is 691844. I recently converted it into a single speed/fixed gear bike. You can reach me @
nbiox@yahoo.com if you want some pictures or exchange information/data regarding our bikes. I need to know my Brava more.
