1983 Bianchi

Hello fellow riders!

I have a question. I was given a 1983 Bianchi with the following stats:

- c. 1983 bianchi road bike - Men's
- 54cm red stainless steel frame with gold lettering and original decals (paint still in very good condition)
- Original Suntour shifters and M-II derailleurs
- 022 Ishiwata CrMo double butted tubes, forks, and stays
- Ambrosio 19 elite' wheels
- Sella Italia Cx saddle
- generic pedals (my purchase since I was a newbie - how embarassing to put it on such a nice bike)

Long story short, this bike doesn't fit me AT ALL (I'm a girl and, even with the seat on the bar, I can't stand over it. I have to lean or get on the very tips of my toes). My questions is this: what would a good asking price for this bike be?

Also, would I be best trying to sell it in the city (Philadelphia) where more people would want it, sell it on eBay, or offer it for sale on a site similar to this one?

I'm sorry if this post doesn't belong here, but I figured you classic/vintage bike enthusists would know. Also, this isn't a cleverly disguised sale post. I really don't know how much to ask for it and I don't want to ask too much / too little. Especially because I need a new-used bike!
