"Potential to look at a late 50's/early 60's Bianchi Record. Looks to have the integrated headset, but steel cottered cranks, wing-nut wheels, not sure what else.
Can anyone advise where in the line-up the Bianchi Record fit?

A really clean one just sold for an amazing price on ebay a few weeks ago:
Item# 260494401032
To me it looks pretty identical to a Gran Sport with stamped drop-outs and a similar group with steel rims, etc. A nice entry level bike with some upscale "looks". I think the ebay bike is more like a later 60's model though. Maybe it replaced the Gran Sport in the mid to late 60's?
My two cents, Jon Williams
