If you have to ask no this is one is a basket case a tone of dead rust. Nice name and some nice parts but not really a bike would cost more to fix than it's worth.

If it was a short drive over to pick it up, I'd buy it. I have enough stuff to fix it up the way I would want it though. Nice lugged Prestige frame and has 'Bianchi' on it. Kinda like the style too.

I was just looking at that, came in on my alerts. I would agree, for a personal rider I think it may be salvageable depending on how the rusty the inside of the seat tube is. $95 doesn't seem too bad for a Tange F/F but you can always wait a few days see if it still around and go lower. It's been up for a few days and IIRC South Hadley is kind of in the middle of nowhere isn't it? You can always just offer $50 for it right now and see what happens.

This is a '88 Campione de Italia Bianchi's lowest priced Italian bike. The Formula Two frame rides great. $250 is a lot better price than I usually see on these, however if it has been hanging to 20 some years it will need a good overhaul and most likely tires too, so closer to 200 or under would be even better.
OH this is huge! If you not close to 6'2" you may want to pass.
