Np pictures. It has been up for a long time, back and fourth. Isn't SunTour Superbe stuff pretty high end? What could I expect to pay for this bike if it is excellent condition and all original? I can't seem to find a whole lot on it.

the man selling the bike lists it in an unassuming, pedestrian way which is a good thing. For example : 22" (=56cm), color = 1985, mixed guage tub,fork,stays.. very honest, most Bianchis are unlesss otherwise stated (that Tre-Tubi..) Those models most often had Ishiwata tubing, light stuff. Superbe is highest quality and remembering those bikes often being touted as "Triathalon Worthy".. that bike is high quality as well.
It's blue.. right ? Some may disagree but if I was in the market for an excellant bike; that size, that model, color and group would REALLY appeal to me. WORTH IT !

BTW... if it was Celeste, that creamy greenish-blue color, it would've be gone.
I like that blue as much. I can see no other rational reason short of damage that your particular bike hasn't been sold, very strange. ( all their bikes were Piaggio in '85)

Amethyst sounds like a '84 that is the only one see that isn't Celeste (that creamy greenish-blue color) or balck too bad it isn't closer to me
however this gem is a steal at $300 a '89 Premio that originally sold for $350 and just had $200 worth of work done to it. LOL
