[but I did have a good laugh at the (ahem...) $2,700 price tag and "Do you know a bike like that only weighs 7lbs!"]
May indicate seller knew the buyer and saw him coming?

Was my favorite show at the time, for sure.
I posted these before: 1980 recommended prices, but for 1981 models:

Thanks for the price list. Hard to come by those. I'd been thinking many people here don't believe it when I've mentioned how much these machines cost BITD.
$2395
+ Jersey, helmet, shoes, shorts & tax probably comes out to around 2700 for a Super Corsa. Obviously, the producers of the show saved money and went for a lookalike at a much lower cost.

Cool. It's clearly a Bianchi circa about 1980. Piaggio emblem headbadge. Those look like Universal 77 brakes, so it's a notch down from a Superleggera. Campione del Mondo maybe? I don't recall all the exact models from that time, but I do remember drooling over the catalog. Anyone have a catalog from then?
