bianchi racing bike
 

hi, i picked up a bianchi bike at a garage sale

i was wondering if anyone knows what it is worth

the frame is made of high manganese steel and made with oji original frame tubes

the shifters are Suntour

there is "piaggio" sticker on frame

colour is dark blue

look at http://www.velo-retro.com/list.html. they offer a catalog of the old team bianchi piaggio (piaggio is the name of the producer of the legendary "vespa", the motorcycle

thanks for the link
 

i checked out that link

it only offers catalogues and you have to buy them

thanks anyway

It sounds like a 1980s Japanese Bianchi to me.

i dont think this bike is worth that much
 

this bike was made in japan and not italy

it doesn't have compagnalo parts

the derailleurs are suntour which is cheap

it feels quite heavy

i checked out ebay
 

i checked out some values on ebay and found a lot of different bianchi frames

some sold for $300-$400 but i think they were bikes made in italy and they did not look like the bike i have

i dont think this bike is worth that much

thanks for taking the effort to type your thought process during this experience. Amusing thread.
