Hello nice looking bikes. could you post a few better pics of the '97. now I am certain everyone her will decry this statement but.. not al bikes labeled Reparto Corse are in fact Reparto Corse bikes. I had a very heated post/email exchange over this issue with another member. however in contacting Bianchi I was told that during a period of time the management decided to label every bike as reparto corse. your bike may fall into this category. also there is really no such thing as a Reparto Corse "model". most bikes carry a model name sometimes based simply on the tubing.
in the past up until about '95/96 most all higher end Bianchis were made of Columbus tubing sometimes especially 'drawn' for Bianchi. in 95/96 Time frame they started to use lots of different materials some made just for them. alot of the production bikes were made with Dedacciai tubing sets specified by Bianchi for the Superset frame style and most carried the MegaPro style ovalized downtube.
do you really like the stem being so upright? it looks like the steering might be a bit twitchy
