I have just aquired from what I have been told a 1946 Bianchi which was repainted by the owner so no I can't tell if it is genuine. I have done some quick research on the net and it seems to check out but are there any things in particular I should be looking for. I have a serial # if that helps. Cheers hey nice bike.

I've been told mine was purchased in 1964 and ridden at the 1964 New York World's Fair. The serial number contains a "64". It has an older TTT stem with the Allen bolt. My older one had an Ambrosio stem with the standard hex bolt. (By the way, I could use a bigger frame if anyone has a 62 or 63cm they want to trade.)

One with a 60 (1960?) in the serial number had the round brass headbadge and two chrome bands on the seat tube. The other, with a 64 had the round anodized and painted aluminum badge and four bands, also an oiler back of the head tube. All three had the bulging lugs with "V" grooved races, though they were cruder on the cheaper model. When replacement races are too thin, rather than file down the lugs, why not simply install shims of the right thickness? I would think brass would be best, but you could cut thin washers from beer cans and insert them behind the races.
