I was puzzled by it because it seems like a lower end Bianchi and logically made in Asia. I just got a Taiwanese Bianchi and it looks completely different than the above posted one. Mine is Hodaka made and has different forks, integral pump peg, etc. To my mind my forks look like Schwinn "unicrown" forks. Perhaps a different factory? Either way I'd say looks worth more than $50

I simply meant that there seems to be no resemblance between them, as if my bike is completely different. Not saying I have a poor quality ride, just "different", especially when comparing the forks. If both bikes came without stickers I'd never have guessed miner was Bianchi - I'd have said Schwinn!

How much for the pickup? Bike looks like a pretty nice deal, though, for someone who can deal with the rust.

How come this thread doesn’t get a sticky? Seems like it would make a lot of sense. Given it’s age and popularity I’m guessing this has been discussed and resolved already?

They're saving up to make it a new sub-forum.

It gets posted to frequently enough that it stays near the top of the C&V section pretty-much every day. Stickies are more appropriate for threads that sometimes get quiet enough to fall down a page or two, but have lasting / permanent informational value.
