I was thinking of buying this but first I hope to know what I am thinking of buying. I should add that there is another forum member potentially involved and he gets first say in the transaction. That said, does anyone know anything about this frame set?

The badge reads - Bianchi Bruno Costruzione Biciclette - Marco Deposit Savona

Thanks for any help that might come my way...

It looks 1950s to early 1960s based on the post clamp in conjunction with what appears to be long, Campagnolo dropouts. So, it should be at least mid-range and possibly better, with likely Falck or Columbus tubes. Lug style in conjunction with the stay caps remind me a rebranded Rizzato product, though the picture size isn't great and I can't say for sure.

Lots of Bianchis in the cycle world. There is also a Sergio Bianchi bike shop located in Firenze. Our non-fixie stopped in there when he did L'Eroica.
