That Univega is very tempting. I had one of those, and wouldn't mind another. I will leave it stock this time, instead of converting it to 8 speed XT like the last one. The ad is written like one of us though? That probably means no price haggling. Hmmmm.,,,,BD

If that Fuji is a Club, and I think it is, and it's in decent shape I would run and not walk to get that bike because those dang things are selling for a lot for some odd reason which I can't figure out. I've seen good condition ones on E-Bay go for $800, I think that's insane for a mid level bike...whatever floats peoples boats.

On second inspection, does that fork look bent?

That's too much money for a bike with the second lowest level Tange tubeset ever made, 900 being the lowest; which means the groupset will be a lower level too. I personally think that too much money to buy a lower end older bike even though it does look nice it will probably weigh around the 28 pound range. For $300 you can find better mid level bikes. Just my opinion of course.

You forgot Tange 1000 and Tange #5 . Tange Infinity tubeset is between Columbus Cromor/Aelle, weightwise, and middle-of-the-road in terms of the Tange hierarchy.

I did find this website worth a read: The Retrogrouch: Classic Tubes: Tange and Ishiwata
My VERY limited understanding is that Rivendell specs his bikes with a mix of Japanese tubing in each bike, thus some tubes may be Tange Prestige and others may be Kaisei and Toyo, while using Reynolds for the forks. Not sure why Grant chose to mix tubes within a frame but supposedly he does, not sure either if he still does that but when I use to get Grants Reader about 11 or so years ago that's what I recall. By the way Toyo is now probably the best steel frame maker in Japan and maybe in the world now. To bad Toyo branded bikes aren't imported to the US, as far as I know. Rivendell use to, and maybe still does, had a Taiwan manufacture (Long Shen? or something like that) make the lugs the old fashion way by the lost art of wax casting. Only mentioned all that due to Tange Prestige being used in some really nice bikes.

Never heard of this company, but just checked out their website and their frames look great. I just recently returned from a 2 month long stay there and I gotta say, I miss all the "mamachari"s.

Here are a couple OK Bianchis but I think the price is maybe 50% high on both.
'82 Nuovo Racing, not Record, for $550 San Louis Classic 1982 Bianchi Nuova Record-celeste
This is a supposed to be a '79 Super Leggera, but I thought the late '70s top models had red decals? Anyway not a bad looking bike I don't think it is worth $1400. Besides even if it is mostly Super Record I don't think this model had the Ti bits. Orange County CA. https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/bik/4587337876.html
