Shimano 500 front mech is interesting addition to an Italian-built bike - probably a replacement.Some new cables, lube and TLC will get it going on - don't go spending lots because you're unlikely to recoup your costs. Zeta is an unbutted, seamed chro-mo tubing, so on a par with Reynolds 501 and therefore fairly low in the hierarchy. Also, no made in decal which seems odd, too. 1990 Bianchi Nyala MTB Bike Frame 44cm XX-Small Hardtail Black Steel Ships Fast 227.67. my wife’s bike has no frame serial number anywhere which seems weird, but consistent with the ’91 example.

Maybe OL or 01 or something similar.Stem is a ttt and handlebars are Cinelli.Rear derailleur is a Campa Nuovo Gran Sport.Crank is a Campa 'GS' (Gran Sport I assume).Front derailleur is a Shimano 600.Rims are Mavic GP4's, hubs say Campa 'Record'.Still has the original Campa drinking bottle, maybe it helps.Brakes are Universal (MOD-125), levers are Modolo.If anyone knows anything about what year it is, what model and any other info it would be awesome!Cheers! Better asking on Retrobike - most on LFGSS weren't born in the 80sColumbus Zeta would indicate early-mid 80s at latest, also judging by the frame fittings and parts.
