the frame looks like a '81 Super Leggera, the group looks like mid to later '90 Veloce or Xenon.

The frame itself is a top of the line Reparto build. It could have been sold as a Super Corsa or Super Leggera model as a complete bike or as a Specialissima frameset. As it is now, I do not see anything other than the headset that would be original to a SC or SL build. Very nice frame.

Thanks for the info everyone! I just got this from my father in-laws garage. I've never owned a road bike & not sure it's for me, I ride mountain bikes. I think it's too big for me, no clearance for standover. I'm probably going to sell to fund a hardtail frame I've had hanging in the garage forever. Any idea on a starting point on price? Seems to ride fine, shifts well, rims are true.

Only the SUper leggera seems to be listed as available in black w/chrome luggs. While the Super leggera and Super Corsa were certainly top of the line in '81/82 I believe the actual Reparto Corse concept was not used until '8ish, that atleast is the first reference I see to it in any of the catalogs.

What's it worth
Hi,
What would a 1981 Bianchi like this one be worth.
I have a similar black road bike in excellent shape -- I say excellent, because I have had other enthusiasts salivate when looking at my bike, and asking to take a closer look. It is through these folks, I have learnt more about my bike.
Thanks in advance for your help.
