Are the Japanese Bianchi's share the same ride quality of the Italian ones?
Sorry for off topic question. I just need to know this, because there are Japanese made ones that sometimes shows up in CL that are my size. But I always pass up thinking they might be inferior in ride quality.

How rare is a pink De Rosa in a large size? And outfitted with a Campagnolo 50th group? I think it is really under priced at $2500

This is a new 1982 Bridgestone Serius road bike from a closed Bridgestone dealer. It has been in a sealed box and rubber parts and tires (Bridgestone of course) are just like new. The components are Suntour Cyclone the second best Suntour offered just below Superbe. The frame is double butted cromoly and the bike weighed 23 pounds according to the catalog, the exact same as the later RB1. This is a link to the catalog https://sheldonbrown.com/bridgestone/...%20catalog.pdf . The Serius is shown on page 4. The picture is of a 25" identical to the 23" for sale. I have already sold the 25" Local sale only. The bike can be seen at the Riverside T stop. Please include a valid phone number or I will not respond.

$500 for a Japanese/Taiwanese Cilo above?
https://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/bik/3033485856.html
Seems like Boston prices are similar to NYC's!
There's a Cilo w/ a Tange (Infinity?) frame & Exage components near Harrisburg, PA in much better condition
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Used-Cilo-Sp...item4d015640fe
eBay local pickup only should keep the price reasonable - $80 w/ 4 days left

Not a screaming deal, but Madison prices on vintage stuff are high anyway. It's been relisted several times now -- I'm shocked it hasn't sold yet. I'd hit it just to try a "french fit" frame, but it would take me a couple of years to get around to building it.

Are the Japanese Bianchi's share the same ride quality of the Italian ones?
Sorry for off topic question. I just need to know this, because there are Japanese made ones that sometimes shows up in CL that are my size. But I always pass up thinking they might be inferior in ride quality.
Sorry for off topic question. I just need to know this, because there are Japanese made ones that sometimes shows up in CL that are my size. But I always pass up thinking they might be inferior in ride quality.
BGirl's opinion is superior, but, I've heard that the ride quality is as good, and the build quality can be as good or even better. I personally used to own an Italian Bianchi, never had a Japanese. My Italian was pretty heavy. I think one could get a lighter Japanese in the same size, esp. with high end Tange frame, like Infinity.
I think it is simply a matter of the model. some of the lowerend bikes simply by virture of the materiel will not ride as lively as the Italian steel. But when you start looking at some of the higher end Asain bikes like the '90/91 Alfana and Virata with a Prestige that could rival a SL framed bike for ride quality. I do agree that quite often the paint and decal finish of the Asian built bikes was better than the Italian frames.
While it has not been out on the road for sometime my first Bianchi (and first ever new bike) was a Japanese built '87 Sport SX. It has a Tange CroMo frame w/ manganese stays and I dare say it road almost as well as the Sl frame I got the following year. The SL/SP mix of the frame just climbed and accelerated (not that I accelerate well) better. but as far and general riding and dampening they were pretty even.

Not a screaming deal, but Madison prices on vintage stuff are high anyway. It's been relisted several times now -- I'm shocked it hasn't sold yet. I'd hit it just to try a "french fit" frame, but it would take me a couple of years to get around to building it.
