Need help identifying the exact model/value
Hey guys new to the forum. Picked up this bike/frame not too long ago for a steal.
I'm pretty sure its a Bianchi Eros but not exactly sure. I've never seen a paint scheme like this.
Anyone got anymore info on this or know approximate value?
Thanks and sorry for the bad quality pics

Bianchi MTB incomplete, I don't see much value there. $25, maybe $50. Its just missing too much stuff.
Looks nothing like an Eros to me. What aspects of this frame suggest Eros to you?
Modern bike; just surf the listings on bikepedia.
On identifying a bike, consider paint scheme LAST. Focus on build features first: wheel size, suspension fork, disk brakes, Component model (NOT brand), etc. That will usually get you to a specific model, maybe two. Then use the decal style and paint color to determine year.

I paid $20 so atleast want to recover that. its on E-bay no so I guess I should amend the title
Thanks for the info

Unless you have a stash of parts this bike isn't worth flipping. Even if you have a stash of parts, this bike isn't worth flipping. Put it up on CL for $20 and pass it on to the next person.
Used MTBs aren't worth much (unless they are rare which this not) and building bikes from a frame is expensive.

When I bought it I didn't really think much about all the missing parts. was just focused on the frame. but I guess thats not the case if its a mountain bike frame.
Thanks guys

You'll get more than $20 if you part it out- stem, bars, fork, cranks, ect. Heaven help you though if you saw that and thought "road bike."
