I asked that seller for the original photos and received them. Posted to Flickr so you can see:

Using this site (
http://www.bikepedia.com/QUICKBIKE/B...&Brand=Bianchi) I decided it was an Eros, assuming it actually is from 1997. Triple front, Mirage group. Seller says he doesn't have the original stem.
I opted out of it, but that's because i'm already building up a Pinarello. I was considering buying the bike for just the components before i saw it was Mirage. If i'm going to upgrade it, i'm going to go whole-hog.
