Help Identify this Bianchi

Hi I need help in identifying a Bianchi that I'm looking forward to purchasing. Any idea what year and model?

The owner couldn't provide any information? Bikepedia may be a place to check, also bicyclebluebook but you may need a bit more info

It's the seller's job to know this stuff -- ask him. The frame design, paint job, and decal job are so ugly that I wonder if this is some guy's attempt to make his no-name POS look cooler.

the Classic and Vintage forum can help. Ask for Bianchigirl.

That doesn't look like a real Bianchi to me.

I could be wrong but the fork doesn't look right for a Bianchi.

The shifters are on the stem tube for Gosh sake. This alone would make me walk away.

It is a CCM Presto with a paintjob. (frame at least, most likely brakes too)
