Your welcome we are always happy to help. You may not have gues this but I love Bianchis. I have ridden and actually own other brands but nothing rides like a Bianchi, I am sure there is a certain amout of biased here but they just always feel right.
OH well if your looking to learn... clean this up and use it to ride and learn about riding and look for a fun club or group to ride with. then you need a fixer upper or project bike (sort of like hotrod in the garage) to hone you mechainical skills. before you know it you'll have a garage full of projects.
