Bianchi Compione Del Mondo : Should I keep it, sell it or trash it?
Good morning,
I've had this bike for years and have never ridden it. I don't have a good picture at the moment however it is identical to the picture below (except for the yellow seat). I found it in the dumpster when I was in college 12 years ago and someone said it may be worth something so I've held onto it. It has a serial number on the bottom bracket area 70320365. From what I've found, a serial # on this bracket would indicate it's Italian? Does anyone know what model this is? Any ideas as to it's worth? Can I check anywhere else for serial #'s or marks that would help?
So I can't post any Images because I have a new account. If you go to imgur.com/ZaBqKjo it will show the bike.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well certainly don’t trash it. Someone can use it, even if you give it away.
It’s a very small bike, probably suitable for someone 5’6” or shorter.
Probably an optical illusion due to the cable routing, but the area just behind the head tube looks questionable. Check to be sure there is no buckling or wrinkling of the tubes, which would indicate crash damage. Even in that case, the parts could be of use to someone, maybe co-op donation.

While a drive side picture and the serial number would help, I'm fairly certain that it is a 1987 Bianchi Premio. These were typically manufactured in Japan and were 3rd from the bottom of a 14 model road line.
Edit: Oops, I see the OP did post the serial number, It's from March 1987 and was manufactured in Taiwan.

Thank you everyone. If it were to be sold, how much do you think it would be worth?
@T-Mar. Where did you go to search for the Serial Num?
