Is there any Bianchi buffs out there that can tell me a bit about this one I just picked up? From the components I can put it to early to mid 60s. I imagine its an original build.
Full 531 frame and fork. Simplex dropouts. The downtube reads "Bianchi Aquilotto", and the seat tube has a Bianchi transfer as well as "Bellin Sport" slightly further up. Flamboyant green over chrome.
GB Ventoux handlebars
Durax chainset
Campagnolo Nuovo Record gearing
Universal Mod. 61 centre pulls
Mavic rims on Campagnolo hubs
Gnutti headset
I can't find any serial number on the frame at all apart from "201" on the LH rear dropout. Ive never been in to Italian bikes, English lightweights are more my cup of tea, although this one just caught my eye.

Not sure if those pictures are going to work
