A Bianchi cruiser
I bought this today for my wife.

It's a Bianchi, but I'm not sure which model. Not everything is original, of course: the pedals, handbrake and tires are new. It's probably from the 1970s, as it has the 'Campione del Mondo 1973-1974' sticker. The paint, unfortunately, is sprayed. You can see traces of the original paint near the logo and the headbadge (celeste? hard to tell). I'm not able to post better close-up pics at the moment, but the paint job isn't very good and we're considering sending it to sand cleaning and repaint. Various components have rust, and we're cleaning that up as well.
Anyhow, can anyone give me any info on this bike? I've searched the net quite heavily and only found this, which appears to be very similar.
