Yet Another Bianchi Value Inquiry
Hello. noob here.
I would like to ask the experts here if I'll be paying too much for this 80's Bianchi Brava with Shimano 105 components? I havent seen it personally, but the seller attached some pictures. I would like to ask the experts if they can appraise the value of the bike just by looking at them. If so, how much is it really worth.
the asking price in CL is $275. Should i haggle or is the price is just about fair?
Thanks

+1, fair price, Inquire as to whether the seller has the toe clips and straps, as these are proprietary to the Shimano aero pedals of the era and are hard to find, at a decent price. FYI, it appears to be a 1987 model.

The price seems good to me. That is a great riding frame.

Thanks everybody. The seller now increased its price to $350.00..must have gotten a lot of responses.
the seller said, "original bear trap pedals" ...i dont know if those are toe cages or platforms..but in the picture, thy look like your regular non-restraining pedals
