When I worked in Peoria I rode the Wednesday night group ride out of Dunlap. One of the regulars had one of those. Super nice guy, raised purebred Great Danes. He told me they had been offered $50,000 for one of their dogs and turned it down because the dog was one of the family.

I think this is a Bianchi Proto, made from Columbus MAX. Here's a very nice one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/124816118712.

I thought that the chainstays looked like Max but I didn't know Bianchi ever made a Max frame. Luckily I have a Merckx MXL, so I can be satisfied with that even though the Bianchi looks nicer.

Yikes - After looking at the price tag I'm very content to settle for the Merckx. Beautiful bike though.
