Well, Bianchi Girl is really knowledgable about these bikes, hopefully she'll chime in soon.....

My take is that this is a lower level product from Bianchi, with lower tier components on it. Entry level model. I have heard good comments about the way it rides though, and most people seem quite happy with them, especially based on the lower prices. The pictures aren't the best, and not sure just how clean the bike really is or isn't...I'd say that price is about average to a bit high. Condition will be important.....if it doesn't need cables, brake pads, mires, etc. and is all in good or better shape, as well as fitting you nicely, then $125-$140 probably isn't too bad. The costs will add up quickly if you have to start replacing a bunch of stuff.

I don't know your budget, but check here on the forums for bikes, as well as maybe the next town or two nearby......?


Cheers,

Joe
