Hi! Thinking about restoring this Bianchi. Can someone help me indentifing this model and year?

Thank you!

For what it's worth, there is a set of Bianchi stickers on eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/300696863141) that looks very close to the stickers on that bike: a circular Bianchi logo on the seat tube, the golden Tubi Bianchi on the down tube, and the Campione del Mondo sticker on the top tube (the years are partially covered, though).

The only sticker that is slightly different is the head badge. The head badge sticker on eBay says "Edoardo Bianchi" in black letters over a "celeste" background, while the head badge sticker on your bike says "Edoardo Bianchi" in white or pink letters over a red background.

Yeah, it's definitely a 70s model, but I'm not that Bianchi smart, to nail it down. BG will arrive soon, I'm sure, if no one else clarifies things first. :) I love that orange paint though, I bet that wasn't very common. (?)

Tool old for me and forigen model to boot. I don't know enough about these components to even tell the level of the bike.

It would surely be a great rider to fix up, but I don't think it is a diamond in rough and worthy of a repaint type restoration. Remember Championship decals go on all a companies bikes as a selling feature, it does not make it a fancy model.

The owner does say to email or phone him/her for more information ("Za detaljnije informacije kontakt mailom ili telefonom"). Ask if there are any names printed on the derailleurs, the crank arms, chainring, etc., to identify the components.

Thx everyone! I bought the bike today :-) this will be fun restoring :-)

Thx thisis very useful!

Hey, I didn't see that last night. Right behind the head tube lug, on the down tube, is a gold-colored Bianchi sticker, most likely IDing the tubing. Try to find that sticker online, and it might help ID the frame. :) BTW, I see you bought it, so this mystery will solve itself. Be sure to post more pics, when it arrives, a European market Bianchi would be worth a good looking at. ;)
