Duane Kennard said about his Specialissima, "I'm guessing it was made around '64-'65. Serial # is: 164124"
One I saw on eBay said "I was told this bike was built between 1961 and 1963 based on the graphics, but I can't say for sure. [snip] Serial #1614929"
I figger mine also is probably from the same range of years, seller said it was a '63 and he was the original owner, but I think it may be a bit older than that. Serial # is 160320. Mine has the hole in the dropout for the "Sport" derailleur.
Pictures of these three, and a few other Bianchis, can be seen at
