I found out this weekend from a really nice LBS owner here in San Clemente that the build kits from Bianchi in the early 80's came with a very small round 'sticker' that was put on to cover over the rear rack mount hole (which was integrated inside the rear drop out). The cover is about the size of a pencil eraser - and he said they were Blue, with a red 'B' on them.

Anyone have a couple of these ??

(you can see it on the lower right pic of this link - the hole is partially hid by a shadow from the derailleur housing, but I think you can see enuf) http://www-hsc.usc.edu/~rpinder/Bianchi.html
