Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

price this bike

2002 Bianchi Giro. Don't worry, the rack and aero bars will find their way to the back of the closet soon after purchase.


So, how much is it worth to you?

Specs?
Looks like the wheels are upgraded from OEM.

I am waiting to hear from seller about wheels. I don't think they're stock. Are there any Giro owners out there who can clarify?

Those look like an early version of Mavic's SSC-SLs, which are worth at least $300 by themselves. Large (and pricey) upgrade from the stock set.

Otherwise it's a 9-speed 105 build, right?

I'd say $550-600.

105 9 spd. Mavic SSC's from 4 years ago. Belongs to middle aged woman who I don't think used it very much. What else do you want to know?

And it does have a carbon fork, right?

One nice thing about Bianchi's specs is that they don't try to slip in a few cheap parts (like tektro calipers, FDs, or generic cranks). I'm sure the FD, RD, brake calipers, brifters, and most likely the crankset are all 105. That's a lot closer to a 'full 105 group' than what you'll see on many other 105-level bikes out there.

(I have an '05 Giro, but it's a little different with carbon stays and a slightly sloping top tube.)
