Group---- Both a friend and I have one of these Bianchi's-- they have a round brass headbadge. I think that Jim was pretty right on with his assessment of the age, considering the gruppo installed.
I also have a set of decals for it, should anybody get serious about purchasing and restoring same... includes the "Specialissima, Record, Campion del Mondo, Paris-Rubaix, Columbus, etc.

>I'm not an expert, but I think it's a late 50's to late 60's. If some ask's the seller to look at the face of the seat lug for a serial number we may know more. Could be a Specialissima, Team bike or a Record. It might even have a piece of broom handle stuffed into the sterer tube.
