Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Bianchi Alloro on ebay...

What is your impression of this bike? Does it seem like a descent deal provided it fits properly? Are there any red flags that anyone sees based on the pictures?

It's a first class racing bike. I had a Bianchi Alloro years ago, but it was the steel frame variety. It weighed 24 pounds, but I raced the crap out of it. It always performed well, and cornered like it was on rails. I would assume an aluminum bike would weigh much less, probably around 20 pounds or so. It doesn't mention weight in the listing. If the listing wasn't expiring so soon, I'd advise you to inquire about how much it weighs.

Assuming the bike is in good working condition, it's a steal at $455.

Edit: You need to have an inseam of at least 34" to fit that bike properly. If you're under 6 feet tall, it's probably not the bike for you. There are no issues visible from the pics.
