Guys: A friend has acquired a lugged steel Bianchi frame. Being Bianchi-challenged, I offered to put it to the experts for an ID on the likely age of it...I think it is a newer frame, and the photos he sent me show it to be very attractive. Heres what I can tell you:
-Dark blue, with celeste green lettering; -chromed fork blades and stays (looks like a unicrown fork?) -straightforward lugs, with a "B" (painted celeste of course) engraved on the tangs of the top tube lugs - Tubing decal reads Columbus Bianchi, Cromor Cyclex, TSX Ultralight
Thanks for any feedback on age...I do have photos, email me offline if interested.
