Bikes: 1959 Capo Modell Campagnolo; 1960 Capo Sieger (2); 1962 Carlton Franco Suisse; 1970 Peugeot UO-8; 1982 Bianchi Campione d'Italia; 1988 Schwinn Project KOM-10;

$140 is too high, particularly with the stuck seatpost. The decals are ca. 1982-83. The over-BB cable routing is interesting -- my 1981 has under-BB routing. The last time I checked eBay, the going rate for a complete Bianchi of this vintage and quality was just above $300. The Celeste color helps a bit.

What is the serial number? Also, is the BB shell 70mm wide, indicating Italian origin, rather than Japanese? (It looks Italian to me, but I cannot be sure from your pictures.)
