Ha haaaa! I bought a Bianchi for 50 bucks this morning. Full 105 shifting, Dura-Ace headset, Max Flite saddle, Sun rims, and Ultegra hubs. Steel, 15 years old.

Way to go, Fubar! Now you can take advantage of the "Bicycle Mechanics" forum to overhaul the hubs, bb and headset, which it almost certainly needs. Can you tell what model it is? Are the tubes joined with lugs? My old Bianchi is a Brava which is the lowest model. I love it though.

Raymond

Yeah it has lugs. The BB was recently overhauled, and the headset is only a year or two old. Hopefully this bike is free a mechanical problems for awhile, unlike my MTB...:D

I got it from the coolest guy, and my best friend, Baker. He sold it to me because I love cycling as much as he does, and he knows I'll take good care of it. He wasn't planning on selling the bike, but I was talking about how much I like early morning road rides but I haven't been able to ride lately because my MTB is always broken,and he couldn't take it..So he sold me the bike. Ha ha.

Right on Fubar.
It's good to see you're maturing.
With concentration and practice you'll make a good roady someday. ;)

True knowledge cannot be given.
It must be received.
Rest easy, young man.
The important thing is to get on that road bike and fly.
