Hi fellow bike forum. I need your help to decide how much this bike worth and what's the exact type and series of this bianchi. I found this one through cl, and wondering what's the fair price on this ...

The stem and maybe the bars are older, but the bike model is '89 Campione de Italia. The rear derailleur and wheels, which look mismatched, and I think the brake levers have been changed. Judging from the looks of the bar tape and dirt in other areas while it works it may need a good overhaul.
IMHO the '89 Campione de Italia while a nice riding bike fell a little short of what it could have been. Bianchi tried real hard to get an "all Italian" bike in the $600-700 range hence the Quattro group made up of rebranded parts from Suntour, Ofmega, Modolo and others. Personally I would not go much over $275-300 on this example because of the work I think it needs. That Cromor SuperSet frame should be a good rider but this is nothing too special.

Thank you so much bianchigirl, I really appreciate your examination 
. Well the seller currently willing to let it go for $300.
There's another seller offering me 1997 campione d'italia for $375. It comes with campagnolo mirage set, dedacciai frame. Unlike this 1989, the frame has more nicks and few scratches. Which one would be a better buy? I heard deddacciai frame is little heavier?
Thanks
