What's this Bianchi worth, please?
Hello,
A complete newbie here! I would like to pick up cycling as a hobby and was hoping to find a decent old-school looking bike which would make me feel like I'm training for a Paris-Brest somewhere in the Alps.
Now, I've found this Bianchi in a local bike shop in Vancouver. It's priced at 375 Cad. Would you be kind enough to tell if it's worth that much?
Oh by the way, I forgot to see if this is my fit. It says 59 cm and I'm 5 foot 8. Would that work?
Many thanks and best wishes.

The bike is quite a bit too big for you. You should probably have a bike that's around 53-55cm, depending on your inseam/arm length, etc. If you do a search on this forum (or elsewhere), you can find many bike sizing guides. This Bianchi, while in good refurbished condition, is not that great a bike in any case.
