Bikes: Lots of 80s Bianchis

1985 Fuji Team



Superbe derailleurs, Sugino ALP crank (never heard of, can't find info), Cyclone pedals, Araya rims on polished Sansin hubs, in perfect working order all stock except new cables, housing, chain, tires, and bar tape. Notice the cutout lugs. What do y'all think? Pretty nice in my opinion!

Here's a full sized pic:

Bikes: 86 Katakura Silk, 87 Prologue X2, 88 Cimarron LE, 1975 Sekai 4000 Professional, 73 Paramount, plus more

Depends on the market, around here, maybe $375, due to outstanding condition. Typical would be more like $275.

Only things that look out of place are the black HS and stem. Well, I just checked. Bike originally came with the black HS and stem. Myself, I prefer the stem and HS color to match the seat post.

High end vintage Fuji in great condition, lots to like about that one!

This is one of those bikes that is sought after by some. I can't tell if you are selling or buying, but wrk101 put up $375 and I can see that potential. But, I'm a little confused by West Coast pricing at the moment. Lower-end bikes are selling for more than they are worth and higher-quality bikes are not selling.

God, that so true. It's maddening.

I think if you want the best sellers price for a good bike, you have to be in a position of not having to sell it right away. If you have the skills to make a good post on craigs or ebay, and time to wait for the small audience that realizes the bikes 'true' value, you will get the more proper price of 350-400, or potentially more.

Just to add another thought if you are selling. Craig's is not just local, it shows up on sites that scour the web. If you are willing and able to ship, you may get responses from buyers across the country. I just put a bike for sale on a West Coast craigs and had a response from someone in NY.
