my question is does it worth 400$ (can)

.
...that's about top end for that particular bike here, but if it fits you and is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition (not in need of a major overhaul, wheels are true, stuff like that) it's worth it where I live in NorCal. Biopace cranks are kinda not real popular right now, but they work fine. I wouldn't get too excited about a RARE saddle. :) But IIRC those are comfy.

I bought one here for about $250, but had to overhaul it and put tyres on it.

Definitely worth it.. Love the color and if it's clean and good mechanically speaking.. I would go for it.

I sold a fully refurbished 86 for $185 earlier this year. It was Shimano light action shifting and diacompe brakes. Could have gotted $200 for sure.
New tires, cables and housing, and tape. Evertyhing had been removed and cleaned. All bearing points regreased.

Aero brake levers and exage sport is nicer.

$315 seems high to me, unless its been fully refurbished. Looks clean from the pic though.

If a buddy who didnt work on bikes wanted this one, id say $250 max as there is a lot else out there with exage or better.

Seems high to me...in my market, Atlanta, I think I could get this for about $200-$250...but...there is also seasonality at stake...this time of year often affords a premium. My thinking is more of the overall market timing.

There's a couple similar Bianchis in my area (Southern California) that have sat for a while around that price. At least one of those is Columbus steel. And at least one is sporting a 105 group. So I think that the one you're asking about, with Tange and Exage, would sit if it were posted here at that price.

I suspect that you can find a better deal near you.

Thank guys , I'll keep looking around
