Hello from Denver
Hello, my name is Marc.
By default, I am an avid mountain biker, but have always loved the look and feel of a nice road bike. Anyway, by the luck of the draw, I have ended up with a road bike.
My wife and my 2 sons all have mountain bikes, but because of some financial hardships I no longer own a mountain bike, so a friend of mine gave me this Bianchi so that my family & I could all ride together. I am contemplating selling it so that I could buy a mountain bike & thus make it easier for my family to keep up with me
, But there is something about this bike that I have a very fond feeling about...It calls to me in the middle of the night. As far as I can tell it is a 1999 model (Is there a way to tell for sure?) I am trying to figure out what it is worth, and then to decide on weather or not to be come a roadie or go back to the roots.
Opinions?
I looked it up on bikepedia and it seems to me that most of the bike is original with the exception of the Seat, the Syncros stem, pedals & tires.
The Group is Campagnolo Mirage.
By the way, nice forum, well laid out.
