This “hard-life” old Bianchi was dumped at my friend’s bike store the other day. I realize it’s not a thoroughbred-racing steed but seemed old enough to give it a second glance and was hoping somebody could supply a year, model name, or any other info. And some advice as to if it’s worth bringing back to life or just passing on to the next wino with a court ordered cycling program. The chrome is not that bad, but it is flaking off the lower head tube lug, and there’s a small dent in the top tube. It still carries the Bianchi stamped steel cottered cranks, front wheel with Bianchi hub and wing-nuts, and what I’m guessing to be the original intergrated headset and TTT stem. Drop-outs are stamped. the rest is a mix of the not good, bad, and the ugly.
