late '70's - early '80's
fork a replacement, beneath the quality of the frame
fork tips and dropouts will not match

I think we're getting somewhere! Didn't Bianchi also use the round bottle mounts around that time as well? It can't be too high up in the pecking order given the lack of details. Brava? Also maybe produced for another brand (Puch?)

Check out this Lotus frame on CL:

No idea what the seatpost size is, but the other details look close.

Yes, the Bianchi I have does use the round bottle braze ons.
Need more to attach a name though.
