How good is this bike?

The one I am wanting is in great condition and looks awesome.

What model? Piaggio was the parent company of Bianchi at the time, not the model.

A Reparto bike from the period (Super Corsa, or Super Leggera) is sublime, the production bikes, Campione d' Italia, Rekord, and Nuovo Racing are nice as well.

You'll need to elborate for anymore info.

Bianchi Piaggio

I recently purchased a Bianchi Piaggio from the same time period and I am very pleased with it. I was very lucky, though, the guy who owned it before me took very good care of it. It seems that there are quite a few models from this era so, I found it difficult track down any information.
The basics of my bike are:

Tange Tre Tubi Reinforzati
Shimano 600 headset
Shimano 600 F/R Derailleurs
Diamcomp Gran Comp breaks
700 X 28C rims.
Color: Light French metallic yellow with gold stickers.
Shimano 600 Crank Set (double chain ring)
Seven Speed rear cassette (13~21)

I'm loving this bike....one of the decals says "super" on it but, nothing else indicates whether or not it's a Super Leggera or Super Corsa. All the same, I love this bike!!!

Provide some more details as there are soem very knowledgable and kind people on this site who can help you with identification.

Good Luck!!!!

Later- Joe In Minneapolis

Tange tubing and all-Japanese components implies Japanese origin, which you can verify by measuring the width of the bottom bracket shell (68mm = Japanese, 70 = Italian). There is nothing wrong with Japanese Bianchis, but they lack the snob appeal and collector value of their Italian cousins.
