Bianchi frameset age/ID
 
This is posted in C & V as well, with more detailed photos.

Any idea of the age or model?

I'm betting mid to late 80's. The downtube bosses mean it wouldn't be a lot newer than that, and the graphics look newer than the 70's.

Looks like a decent, mid range frame. The simple lug work makes me think its not a higher end frame.

1987 Bianchi Super Corsa:

Fairly similar graphics makes me think your bike is also around 1987.

I was thinking maybe a few years older just because of the non-recessed brake bolts, and those graphics are similar

my guess, and only a guess, is that the non recessed bolts indicate that it's down a rung or two from Bianchi's best frames of the day.

I think it's a Bianchi10 so I'm sure it's low miles.

I investigated, and they are recessed. The cast seat&chainstay bridges hint higher end, but maybe older.

The Bianchi font on the DT should date it, but I'm no expert on their logo/font history.
