Hi Bianchi friends!

I would appreciate any advice that you could give me to help identify this Bianchi frame. I really have no idea about this one, my guess is that it's late 80s, perhaps early 90s, but I have no idea about what model it may be. Any tips on the model/year would be greatly appreciated. My understanding is that the bike has been living in Germany for all of its life and has been used for time trial riding.

According to the sticker the tubing is Columbus Cromor and it measures up at 63cm. I think that Cromor, while not the premium tubing, is quite strong and suits a larger rider, which is great because I am over 2m tall and weigh about 100kg. My last bike was an EV2, which rocked my world until the frame cracked - I think I'm better suited to a big steel frame like this one.

Many thanks!

Ben

Hi Ben welcome to the forums. Well I am not well versed in European model bikes but here in the US I would say that is a '88 through 91 Campione de Italia frame but that looks like it has a completely different set of componenets than I would expect on a CdI. Perhaps this frame was used for other models over there, hopefully some of our european members can shed more light on the subject.

Thanks Bianchigirll, yes the components seem to be a mix and match, there's Shimano 600, 105 and Dura Ace stuff on it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Here are a few more photos which may offer some clues. I notice there is some kind of Olympics sticker on the head tube. Also, I wonder if the lettering on the rear dropout gives an indication.

It would look a whole lot better without the antlers, IMO.

Definitely will take the antlers off. I'm going to put drop bars on it and use it as a commuter bike. I'm not tooo worried about what it looks like/correct components etc., if it was a real collector's frame then I might think about giving it some love, but really this bike is going to be for everyday riding and locking up at uni/city etc.
