Please ID this Bianchi
According to those pictures is is this a Bianchi Strada? I think I saw the Formula 2 sticker on the seat tube. Also how much will you pay for this?

that looks like a '88ish Strada alright. that isn't a Formula decal but is a Celeste and red colored decal for the made for Bianchi japanese tubing.
looks a bit rough, it my size I would not go more than $125 to 150

Take a closer look on the top tube does it say PREMIO. From the pic it looks like a Premio, I have two in that awesome colour. It has Suntour Accushift derailleurs, it will index or friction your choice by an adjuster on the stem shifters. It also has if im not mistaken a crank that can take a third chainring. The brakes are pro star which I never heard of but work very well, and look great. It rides very very, well and comfortable. You will not be disapointed. The tubing is Bianchi Superset. In Toronto 150 to 200, is reasonable of course try to get it cheaper. Its a real underated bike but youll love it. Is it your first CV bike. good luck.

hhmmm I think it is. your Bianchis up there in the great white north are different from ours. either way it is a bound to be a great riding bike.

Ya I dont see many down south but I see them up here there quite the ride the combination of Japanese parts and assembly and Italian engineering works for me.Randyjawa could possibly chime in I think he wrote about one in his web page a while back. Anyway I hope he buys it, and thanks Bgirl for all your help and interest in the best bike manufacturer of all time .Hopefully I get off my butt and learn how to post pics here. Take care and get out and vote guys. Sky
