  1. [FONT= times new roman]I have come across a Bianchi and I would like to know more about it.[/FONT]
    [FONT= times new roman]It is the traditional turquoise paint, white handle bar wrapping on the front a crest with EOOAROO on it, no other marking that I can see, is there anywhere else to look ?[/FONT]

  2. The thing to do is to google some images, lots of 'em, to compare. Likewise taking a few pictures and posting on this forum may help. The other thing to do is learn what that paint color really is: it's "celeste". People calling that color anything but celeste have been known to disappear or come to an unfortunate end in a back alley, probably at the hands of outraged Bianchi-philes.

  3. The Classic Rendezvous website is a good place to look for advice as well as pictures of older Bianchis. You will need to submit pictures. classicrendezvous.combianchi main.htm
    The level of Campagnolo hardware will often be an indicator of which model in the line you might have, and will definitely narrow down the age range of the bike. Does your frame have any indication of the frame tubing which was used? Most likely it is Colombus tubing. SLX would be used in a high end model Tre-Tubi in a mid line model. If it uses Easton, has an English bottom bracket, and Shimano hardware it is late model license production, but the Celeste paint is probably an indicator that it is not. Serial numbers? You might try sending them to Bianchi and see if you get a response.
