    An old bianchi recently came into my possession at no cost. From what
    I can find online, it appears to be around '63-'65 and I'd guess it's
    '64 if I had to chose, but my opinion isn't worth much. It's a bit of
    a puzzler because it's doesn't actually say bianchi, but 'G. Bianchi'.
    I haven't been able to find any reference to "G. Bianchi" anywhere I've
    looked. It's in great shape with many of the original parts. It's got
    beautiful welding, it's super light (almost as light as my brother's
    multi thousand $$ Masi). The rear derailer is campagnolo valentino and
    the front is also campy. Etched into the handle bars it says "cyclo
    man". The brakes are Wienman and the cranks are from france. I'd love
    to learn more about the history of this bike, it's incredibly fast and
    shifting (on the tube) is smooth. Really a great ride. Anybody know
    what I've got? Thanks,

    -Jesse

    Sure those are welds and not fillet brazing?

    I wouldn't expect a bike of this vintage to be welded.

    Probably not welding, but rather lugged and brazed.

    Not from that period, but it certainly could be a replacement.

    Pictures would help identify it. Post them and provide links here.

    Mystery solved:

    Brazed lugs, NOT welded.
