Subject: [CR] Red Bianchi frames/bicycles?


I recently came across a red (not blue-green) Bianchi road bike. Maybe its my ignorance, but I'd not seen a Bianchi in any color other than the blue-green that seemed to be their 'trademark' color? It has a lugged frame of Columbus tubing, Campy nuovo record deraillers and crank, but 'del mondo/made in usa' or some such brand hubs/brakes (that look as though they were campy copies or close to that). It does have the inscribed B on the fork crown, etc., so I'm guessing it really is Bianchi. Anyone have any information on these? Thanks.
