Help identifying 80s(?) Bianchi
Hello,
I bought this Bianchi and would appreciate some help in identifying it. I'm new to all this and thought it might be a fun project for the winter to fix it up and learn a bit in the process. But since I don't really know what I'm doing I figured it might be prudent to ask what it is before I start.
It has a "made in Italy" sticker on it that isn't visible in the picture. The other stickers are local anti-theft labels and such. The components are Huret front and back, Ofmega cranks and Universal brakes. The rims are mavic speciale sport and the hubs are labeled Bianchi.
The information I got was that it was from the 80s and that seems to check out, according to what I can find online. Based on what I paid (about 150$) and the components I gather it's a low end bike, which would be good for me to learn on. I would appreciate any information you all might have and hopefully someone can pinpoint the year and model.
Best regards,
Martin

im thinking repaint. my friend has a late 70's corsa with that decal style, but its on both the seat tube and down tube.
lots of other things look out of place to me, but im by no means a bianchi expert.

Thanks for the input. That's certainly a possibility. The down tube has a totally different decal and I haven't found any pictures of other bikes with this combinations of decals.
