1985 Bianchi Pista questions
Does anyone know the specs on a 1985 Bianchi Pista? The catalogs I've seen online either don't have a spec page or are in Japanese. I'm curious about the tubing and the stock components for a potential acquisition. Here's the seller's photos, which aren't the greatest.

They made two models in this era: a "Super Pista" and an "Eco Pista." The Super Pista frameset was high-end Columbus tubing with chrome flourishes and Record Components. The bike you've posted is an Eco Pista. They had the same geometry I believe, but otherwise were lower-end. I certainly wouldn't turn my nose up at one.
