Hi guys, I've been reading these forums for a while, but this is my first post!

Just wondering what you guys think this bike is worth. Sorry for the small pics but these are the best I could get!

Owner says "Quattro group which is a mix of Japanese and European components. Suntour Accushift down tube shifters with 6 on the left and 2 on the right for a total of 12 speeds. Modolo side pull brakes."

Thanks!

Hello Welcome to the forums. That is a '89 CdI. as you noted the Quattro component group is a mix of Suntour (labeled for Ofmega as Quattro) and Modolo and Ofmega bits to allow Bianchi to have an "all Italian" bike in a decent price range. the frame was nice and the shifting could be good but I never cared for the brakes esp the levers. the original price of these was arounf $620.

I think the owner/seller must be confused it should (as if sitting on the bike) two {front** on the left shifter and 7 {rear** on the right. although it is possible it is setup with a 6spd FW for some reason.

I see them for anywhere from 200 to 500+, I would like to see better pics of this one but I think $300, assuming it is clean and ready to ride all summer.

How about now? Owner is asking for $325. It's a little steep IMO.

Around here, Portland OR, a pretty celeste Bianchi of average size, in nice shape with decent components, would fetch $325 without too much problem. Don't know about where you are.

Your pics are not showing up. I don't think 325 is out of line
