Hi!
I’m looking into this bike, it’s a Celeste Bianchi, classic steel tubing, sticker made in Italy on.
the model written on the top tube is « triathlon »
i can’t find that model mentioned in any catalog I looked at.
serial: 2D13433
Groupset is full campagnolo.
i can’t post pictures on the forum for now but any help is appreciated.
thank you!!

I can't help you ID the bike, but I'm sure someone will be along shortly to help. Also, if you post pictures to your personal album, someone can post them here for you.

Hello and Welcome to thje forums. Lets start with which country you and the bike are in. Two, you can't post pics for a bit as security feature but you should be able to create an album that we can see.
Is there a sticker showing what kind of tubing? Do the Campagnolo components have a name? Athena? Daytona? Mirage?
I don't recall a Bianchi model actually saying TriAthalon on the frame anywhere, although it is quite possible it's something from the 2000s after my interest in newer bikes waned. There was a rather fancy model from around '99 called a TriathaMegaPro L but I'm unsure if it actually said TriAthalon.

that sticker was added by a previous owner. The bike is a entry level racer from around ‘83/84 likely a Nuovo Racing. I’ll try and look deeper later. The brake calipers and certainly the stem are replacements

Agreed on all counts. The decals are definitely of that era and rule out 1980-82.

Actaully it might be 980 MODEL but as Mr. 66 the clamp on shifters are odd. MOre pics with crown and stay cap details might be interesting but for gabrielsmackay what are plans for this? I think I'd recomend a pass on this for a novice looking for a bike to use.
