1986-87 Bianchi Strada?
I haven’t been able to find much info on this bike so I’m wondering if it’s a legitimate purchase or if someone slapped some Bianchi stickers onto a painted bike. If the bike is legit, what would be a good price for it? Thanks

Pedal to the medal
With the fork crown engraving and "B" on the lugs, plus the italian drop outs, looks legit to me.
If you want a valuation, I suggest posting it in the C&V valuation thread.

Sorry, not legit.
That is an example of a "Super Fake". The fakers go through a 58 point (some say it's 63) process to mimic every single detail, and that includes a legitimate serial number (the original example they copied is then destroyed so that there is no chance someone finds that there are 2 identical serials floating about......a doppelganger if you will).

In 1987, the Strada was Bianchi's lowest-level road bike. Definitely not made in Italy or painted celeste. I can't see the top-tube decal, so I would want more detail on which model this is actually being sold as. (Perhaps it's a Squadra?)

It should be a 1987, Italian manufactured, Bianchi Limited. The frame is legitimate Bianchi and the rectangular CdM decal indicates 1987, while the Gipiemme dropouts are typical of Italian manufactured Bianchi of this era. The Shimano New 600EX components are correct for that year's Limited, though the rear derailleur is a later 600 Ultegra upgrade and it has replacement pedals.
Edit: The serial number should corroborate the model year.
