Help Identifying this Bianchi
I did some research but I'm not coming up with much. All i find on the bike is some numbers stamped on the bottom bracket.
A6 on one side of the bottom bracket
7857 on the other side.
The bike has full dura ace components, 3T headset and bars, and columbus tubing
Any info you have would really help thanks.

Can you post good pics of the decals on the seat tube, the front and rear derailleur, the seat tube cluster, and the front forks?
Also, how many gears in the rear cluster?

You need to look in the 1986 catalog. I know bulgier has an '85. Try there.
Edit: '86 catalog is up there, too, but i didn't see a DA equipped bike shown. The '85 Mondiale and Giro are DA equipped

nice looking Bianchi. I agree on the pics of the decals especially the tubing decals. it looks like a '85-86 "Special" or Formula frame that someone built or rebuilt with the dura ace and Mavic tubular wheels. 7 or 8spd?

6 cogs on the freewheel. again nice looking Bianchi. as I said earlier I think it is an '86 frame that someone bought and then built with the dur ace components. non of the cataloged bikes in '86 or '87 had chromed forks so that is why I think it was a frame only build up. the catalog just says 'Bianchi' for the dropouts.
Formula One tubing was only used for two frames in '86 the it was dropped. Bianchi used to do alot of 'grassroots' sponsorship so perhaps this is a frame that came from that avenue

the frame certainly would have been made in italy in those years. you should measure it to find the size C 2 T and C 2 C for the TT. the algles are likely real close to 72 to 73.5 whatever works best with that size.
finding new Formula one decals may be very hard. Velocals makes a few Bianchi decals but his ones in this style seem to come in white, or atleast that is what is pictured. on ebay there is a gent from down under that sells some nice decals bit IIRC they are black not the bluis like Bianchi uses.
