Sheldon, I wouldn't say it's one of the last lugged steel Bianchis, but maybe one of the last Japanese-made ones? Bianchi Reparto Corse was making lugged steel frames up until at least the mid-'90s. They made an EL-OS and a TSX UL, both lugged, somewhere in '95 or '96. I have a 53cm TSX UL that is going up for sale soon.

I still have the catalog, so if anybody needs something more specific, I can find it. Also have a Campy catalog (small one) from the same year.

Trying to make room in my cellar and this very nice bike never really fit me.

Japanese lugged steel Bianchi Brava, tubular wheels, triple crank...
