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

About to look at an early 90s steel Bianchi - Tips?

Hi all,

I'm just about to (in an hour) look at a second hand steel Bianchi. It's described as being made in the early 90s, it has Sora (??) shifters, a Ritchey front wheel (and apparently something non-descript in the back) and is 54cm in sizing. Oh and it's gray.

Any tips on checking out the bike? Did Bianchi make any bad steel frames? Any particular steel types I should be looking out for or stickers/decals? Anyone know here I can find a a model list for the early 90s for Bianchi?

Thanks!

Look for frame alignment, fork alignment and inspect the frame for cracks/bubbling paint.
