Need help identifying a Vintage Bianchi!
Hello all! My neighbour has had this bike for 20+ years and I am hoping to find out what make, model and year this bike is. My neighbour bought it second-hand more than two decades ago but does not remember the year it was produced. He is also considering selling it, so we are trying to find out the value. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is this bike in the US? It is difficult to say if that is Mediterranean Blue or Lago Blue. The frame, assuming the decals are correct dates to ‘86/87 as while Formula Two tubing was still used the Bianchi Decals are different. There were no blue Formula II frames in ‘87, in the US market so this must be an ‘86.
unfortunately the components don’t match up to either the Brava or the Trofeo. The actual closet match I see, again the US catalogs, is the ‘85 Vitoria but that would have been Special tubing. Perhaps this is a late production bike and built on an ‘86 frame. The 600 RD is certainly a later addition

I'm pretty sure this is the Canadian market model, circa 1986-1987. It's a cross between the USA market 1986 Vittoria and the 1987 USA market Nuovo Alloro. Serial number?
