Bianchi Krono TT Funny Bike Help with ID
Could anybody shed any light on this bike for us please
We picked it up in a trade
On the bottom of the bottom bracket shell it is stamped 2327
I am in Ohio and found a guy in London England looking for one.
He asked me the price and I'm not sure what to tell him.
From what I can find out the bike is somewhat rare
Thank you much

Bikes: No-name LH drive track. Also ride an Exxon Graftek, a Masi, a Trek R200 or a RR Boneshaker for fun!

Bianchigirl would likely be the best one to evaluate this. My first impression is that the part group is a bit odd - either things have been replaced over the years or the last owner had eclectic tastes in components. I've seen similar bikes (not Bianchi) go for 400-800 in this shape.

TT "funny bikes" are a bit tricky to price, as ultimately, the market for them is quite limited. Just not as much people out there willing to take on a "funny bike" and the ergonomic issues that limits their versatility, compared to the number of people looking for "conventional" rodd bikes.
It looks o be a very nice Bianchi, but, judging from the "house" Bianchi Formula tubing (although Columbus sourced) and what I could make out of the components (Mostly Shimano 600?) it is not a top of the line spec'd funny bike (not pro team level, more like a mid-level bike). I'd go with a $400 - $600 (max. on a very good day to the right buyer) estimate on it.

It is a 56cm
i will check to see the parts so as to if they are original. It does have some 105 but has been played with some. And wow $500 shipping. You must not be in the states. I am in NE Ohio.

I'd say $300-ish for the bike. Shipping from Ohio to the U.K. will be $400-500. If the buyer joins a broker shipping will be considerably less.
~$225 from a reputable broker: https://account.myus.com/signup/step1c.aspx

I shipped a 60 pound bike in a slightly bigger box for just under $150 last month, but declared no value and depended on eBay "Seller Protection" in case something went wrong. Thankfully it did not.
And this is not a recommendation or a shill for using the Bay, I have stuff I need to sell and I need the money. The Bay is the (slightly) lesser of many evils, largely due to less selling cost and risk. YMMV.
