What bike is it that is so secret not to tell us? bianchigirl has stuff you probably wont see ever in your life, i have a derosa myself... I/we wont die from a heart attack for reading the word derosa or any other italian or european manufacturer because sure all of the guys have one already but you.
From the OP, it sounds like this bike might already be on Craig's List...
Either way, I can't see spending $280 on a city commuter/thrasher that needs that much work (but that's just me). Besides, a knowledgeable bicycle thief is going to swipe that thing if he/she notices that it's a nice vintage brand/type under all the bad paint...
