The bottom of the bottom bracket, including the serial number. If you want to see what people said, here are the links to the two threads on and .) (I posted this information on a couple bike forums a few years ago. (That Bianchi has the chainstay cable stop on the underside, while my bike has the cable stop on top.) I've tried to arrange the pictures with the most identifying characteristics first.įWIW, Here is a similar looking, but not identical, 1986 Bianchi Brava. (E.g., this '89 Japanese Bianchi has a serial number ending in 86.) So the frame is likely from a '84 or '85 Bianchi (since the dropouts were made late in '84).įWIW, I've posted pictures below I've made sure to point out things that could help identify the frame (braze-ons, lug style, etc.). The dropouts were made in late '84 and we now know that the last two digits of the serial number do not represent the year.
