Hello everyone,
I'm new to this site, but I've found loads of information in the archives so I decided it was in my best interest to join up.
I have a question to those of you who may be Bianchiphiles: what can you tell me about an early eighties (I believe) Bianchi Tipo Corsa 28T? It has all campy components and it's an Italian frame. Other than that, I'm in the dark. What is a fair price for this bicycle?
thanks.

Depends on the Components, wheelset & the overall condition of the bike. Have you ridden it yet?

I have yet to ride the bike, but I'm taking it on a test ride tomorrow.
It's a 12-speed, original Campy components, with Mavic sew-up rims. I don't know the specifics of the campagnolo components.
could someone in the know fill me in on the general specifics of early eighties tipo corsa?

I have an early 1980s Campione d'Italia, whose original components included:
1) TreTubi frame (double-butted Columbus CrMo main triangle);
2) Campag. Record derailleurs;
3) Modolo Speedy brakes;
4) 6-speed Regina America freewheel, 13-23;
5) Ofmega low-flange 36-hole hubs;
6) Ofmega crankset, 52-42 rings;
7) Campag. seatpost
Though heavy by today's standards (10kg) and no "superbike," I think it's a blast to ride, although it is also my twitchiest bike, and definitely not suitable for a relaxed cruise.
Look for a small square label indicating the pedigree of the frame tubing.

where in the Bianchi line of the early eighties does this bicycle belong? what would be top of the line and what would be lower end?

You may find the model you have among the Bianchi brochures.

wow. thanks for those links.
if anyone is curious as to exactly how the bike looks...
this basically sums it up... well, minus the pump and bottle.
i just took it out for a ride, and boy is it responsive. well, compared to my peugeot it is. i'm happy with my purchase, i'm going to ride the hell out of this bike.
from the literature i figure it is a mid-range bike, which is perfect for me. the way it is described as "exclusively customized for the competitive rider"& "designed to racing specs" comes across as more club racer than pure race, but hey, I don't need a full out race bike. i think i would be hard pressed to find an example as clean as this bike for the price i paid, though i know there are yard sale bargains out there.
anyone know where this bike sits in the lineup compared to the campione d'italia? they seem similar in many ways.

Cool Bianchi! Glad you were able to find yours there. Check out the other brochures... Lots of really cool old stuff.

sorry for the late bump, but i've been busy with life lately.
thanks again theotherguy, that link has been more than helpful in my research.
from all i can gather, and i could be wrong, the tipo corsa was the top tretubi bike of the early eighties(late seventies?). it's definetly no super leggera or super corsa, but i'm working my way up to one of those... one day (with far away look in eyes).
from the same catalog as my bike, the "step-up" (gratuitous bianchi content):

Yer killin' me here. 
I owned a Bianchi Super Leggera, put MANY miles on it, and it is to this day the most exciting bike to ride I have ever owned, and I have owned more bikes than any ten people should ever own.
I have ridden bikes that may have done one thing better than the Bianchi, but no one bike did everything like the Super Leggera. Every ride was rewarded with some inspired feedback from it, and on top of it all, it was a work of art.
I changed one thing about it from stock. I put a set of Mavic SSC Bleu rims on it. Miss that bike. It was stolen.
Enjoy your Tipo. Should be a fine ride.
