Craigslist and eBay have been strangely void of them, and I'm not quite sure where else to look. The best I found was one from 1999, but the guy wants $800, which seems amazingly high.
Any ideas? Other places to look? Or another Bianchi celeste bike that might suit my needs? I'd be most grateful.
Thanks!
Either you race or you don't. You can't cruise.
$800 seems a but steep, but the Eros has retailed for $1200 or more since Bianchi started selling them, and if the rig is in good condition, $800 might be reasonable.
Try and talk the dude down, if you can't get anything out of him, check back
here every week and see if something happens.
