I found one for sale $199. Is that a reasonable price? It looked like it was in incredible condition, but it was pictures online. I believe it was white and yellow. It's for sale by a company in CA. I was thinking about buying it, but wasn't sure if that was a reasonable price.

depends on the model and the components. If its a brava
(I think that was the model, with Huret components) then
no, its not worth it (bottom of the line bike).
can you post a picture of it?

My $55 bottom-of-the-line 1962 Bianchi Corsa had steel 26x1-3/8" rims, Huret Allvit gears, steel Magistroni crankset, steel Universal sidepull brakes, and a pretty decent Bianchi-branded tensioned leather saddle. Even with the nostalgia factor, I would not bid on one today. Of course, a Specialissima of the same vintage would be a different story. :)
