Nice bike! It's hard to tell from the pics, but that may be a Bianchi Veloce or similar, which would be a good find indeed. What's the parts spec on it?

Becky, I'm not sure - I don't speak bike!
It's pouring out right now. I'm glad I got it home and in the garage before it got wet. I'll check later and see if I can figure out anything else about it.Dar

*grins* No worries! And I wouldn't go back out in the rain either!

Yours appears to be made from one of Columbus's steel tubesets- that's good stuff.
I love classic steel, especially Bianchis

You found that on the curb??
A classic Bianchi in Celeste green.
I would keep that and enjoy the pleasures of steel.
You're a bike magnet.

It doesn't have eyelets for racks, so touring would probably not be the best use. But it is a sweet find!
