Trying to authenticate a Bianchi frame
Hi all! i just bought this frame a week ago and I’m just trying to find out if this is legitimate. The seller restored the frame and i believe he made the decals and covered up the serial number in the process but i still managed to make it out. The serial number is DS763450. Thank you! @bianchigirl

The 'B' on the fork crown and 'Bianchi' on the seat stay caps indicate it is definitely a Bianchi. I'm no Bianchi aficionado, but the eyelets on the dropouts and fork ends suggest a touring model.

yea the fact that the serial numbers are visible but slightly filled in lends me to believe its just a heavy repaint. Looks real to me
