be careful of the question you ask

this Bianchi and a red looks itallian bike have been sitting in the window of a mall skateboard and clothing store for year.

just for the heck of it I asked if they are for sale, but have to contact owner....gave them my email so far nothing, but they thought $1200 for Bianchi and $1000 for the red no name bike

the problem is i am the middle of a pricy addition and just can't see adding to the the mix, but both look to be my size..and the Bianchi with matching seat and pump....

Right, who needs priorities? The red one is probably faster, so offer $500 for both. Don

Both nicely outfitted... monoplanar's on the Bianchi
The red one looks like it will fit 28mm tires, even fenders...
so riding it in the winter instead of other bikes would make them last longer, thus saving $$$

Hard pass on the red one at that price. Agreed on hefty ask for the Bianchi even if you’re jonesing for one. Looks late 80’s but higher end Bianchi we’re all SLX in 89, so maybe 87 or 88?

The Bianchi is a 1988 Super Leggera with Columbus SL/SP and 1st generation Campagnolo Chorus components with Syncro shift levers. It was 2nd from the top of the line in 1988 and had an MSRP of $1250.00 USA.
