1984 Bianchi Alloro

After rummaging through the internets and old catalogs I've determined that the Bianchi I recently acquired is an 1984 Alloro.  It's one of the roughest bikes I've worked on.  It was repainted some time ago with a heavy enamel coat. It is cracking and gives it some character but the eye catching details are the elaborate pin-stripes. They are very well done and give it a 60's hotrod look. I plan to rebuild it with mostly original components (some are missing) and lift the grime out of the paint to make those stripes pop. This bike is  a bit small for me but will make a great "buddy bike" for any of my visiting friends or family that are shorter than myself. You can see how it turned out here in Part II.
