Bianchi Sport SS on CL
Hello all,
Finally joined BF. Great info of all sorts. Ok on to it. I found this Bianchi Sport SS on CL for $125. Was gonna offer $100. Not sure the age. Thinking mid 80"s of Japanese manufacturing origin. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Soulpro

That looks like a '83 Sport SS with a mangalloy frame, a bit on the heavy side but should be a real nice rider. The drive train and hubs are the early shimano 105 aka Gold Arrow, DiaCompe 500Q brakes. The brake levers were changed to thos aero style at a later date.
If this is rideable and you get it for $100 go for it.

@FastJake I'm thinking that I will. The only thing that gets me is that it's over 25 years old. Thanks for your input.

It looks to be in great shape, it was probably hardly ever ridden. In my neck of the woods, this would sell for $300 in a heartbeat.
If it is your size and the bike and parts are mechanically sound, $100 would be a bargain.

So I missed out on the first Bianchi Sport for $125. Found another that's in not as good condition as the first and the seller wants $185.

Is that a Sport? or Sport SS? they were two different models. I think $185 is a bit much for a Sport and this looks OK but it likely needs a tune up. Also I would like to see a better pic shoeing the line of the fork in relation to the headtube.
A Sport would be a HiTen frame/fork
