80s Bianchi for $300?
i've been looking at a used Bianchi that's being sold for $300 (pics are attached). i don't know much about these bikes, but this seems a little steep to me. frame is in pretty good condition (a little rust specs here and there).
here are the specs that i can make out:
-Suntour Sprint derailleur
-Modolo America brakes
-Ambrosio Extra 19 wheelset
-Tre Tubi Formula 2 Columbus frame and fork
-its got the "Made in Italy" sticker, but it isn't clearcoated (is this a concern?)
based on my limited savvy, i think its around a 1986-1987, but i'm not sure what model. rides real nice and fits me well, but i'd probably drop some money on it and want to make sure i'm not being had.
any info someone might be able to provide would be really helpful. thanks!

Hello yes I would try for the 250 range as this looks like it does not have index shifting, also it is hard to tell form the pics but it looks big. the Tri Tubi frame and America brakes sort of makes it look like a '86 Brava.
