Miele Beta with shimano 600 gruppo?
I just bought this miele and the decals are almost gone. Wondering if it is a Miele Beta. It has a full Shimano 600 gruppo (except for the front wheel that has a shimano 105 hub, Scott Bullhorns handlebar, Amrosio Extra Elite Gold rims.. The weird thing with this bike is that it has BIANCHI stamped at a few places. Do you guys know anything about it?

The Bianchi stampings are not unknown on Miele. Jim Miele was the desigmer and importer for the early and mid 1980s Bianchi. Consequently, he used the same Japanese manufacturer for some Miele.
The subject bicycle is equipped like a 1984-1986 Beta. However, the subject bicycle appears to a Tange 900 or 1000 tubing decal and I can't recall seeing a Beta with this. If this were my bicycle, I'd be pulling the fork to see if it has Tange or Ishiwata stampings on the steerer tube. However, the place to start is with the serial number and component date codes. That will tell us the year and maybe we can figure out things form there.
