I'd also say early 90's Bianchi. 7 speed rear cassette? Looks like Shimano Exage groupset with a Deore rear derailleur? With multiple black paint jobs. Including the brake calipers. She's definitely got some experience points. Any severe dents? Cracks around the lugs? Look the frame over good to make sure everything is safe and sound to ride, she's had a rougher commuting life. That's for sure. As far as time and effort.. does it have any problems when riding now? Shifting issues, wheels rubbing brakes.. other noises? I find 7 speed stuff continues to work for a very long time barring something catastrophic. And that's a lugged Bianchi frame so it's nothing to sneeze at either. I like them.
