I almost had a sweet Bianchi back in 98. There was a Columbus steel Bianchi on the shelf at a local shop. $2600 back in 97 (not sure of the modelyear). But it didn't sell, was my size and the following year the price dropped to $1600. It was about 2 weeks before I got my tax return and the bike still there so I planned to buy it when I got my check. It hadn't sold the entire 2 years I was eyeballin' the thing but woudn't you know it, the week before I got my money, somebody bought it!
