Bianchi model identification help needed
Hi all!
I've picked up this frameset a few years ago. It was my first "custom" project for myself. I didn't know much about "restoration" and matching parts and all. I got it sandblasted and powder coated to my liking. I love it but i know it's also "wrong"
It still has the orignal Campagnolo headeset, it had a very hard to remove Campagnolo bottom bracket and seat post. I also know that the reproduction Columbus decal is the exact same as the one that was there before. I also know that the frameset was Celeste with navy blue decals/lettering. The drop outs are Gipiemme.
The serial number reads 1452 H.8 as seen in the picture.
As i'm Googling "Bianchi Gipiemme dropouts" it does look like a Superleggera...
Anyone can help with year and origin?
Thanks!

SLX frames were offered in '89 and '90, until the supply was exhausted. The Super Leggera and Giro shared the same frame as did the Mondiale but with a chromed chsinstay
