Bianchi aficionado stumped...

...Well, more of a wanna be aficionado. At any rate, I can usually tell what model a Bianchi is. My friend is selling this to me this week, so I don't have it in my garage just yet. Does anyone recognize what model? My best guess is a 1985 or 86 Campione or Mondiale. I think those were more or less the same tier.

Things that jump out to me-
-single chrome chainstay. Usually telltale Mondiale or Campione
-script/cursive Bianchi engraving on BB shell and top of seat stays. This part confuses me. I own a 1985 Campione in beautiful Rose pink and it doesn't have these.
-curved fork crown with engraved design. Makes me think late eighties.
-pre 1986 catalog decals... maybe these are transitional?
-Campagnolo dropouts
-I'm guessing SL not SLX.


Will update with better photos and BB stampings later this week. Just curious if anyone has one of these or recognizes it.

My leading candidate would be a 1986 Giro, as even the New Dura-Ace would be correct. However, the serial number will help to narrow things down to year or two.
