Is $60 a reasonable price for a frame like this?

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

Not enough to go on, but if I'm reading that correctly it's a Bianchi, and most Bianchi frames should be worth that if they're in good shape.

The C&V forum might know better, but it's older steel Bianchi with horizontal dropouts and what look like bosses for cantilever brakes. It also looks like a pretty large (60cm or larger) size.

If it fits, is in decent shape, and fits your intended uses, I'd say it's worth $60 - but only if all three of those are true.

If it fits you and is rust free I would say it's worth it. I would see if I could get it for cheaper... Mainly because I've seen deals on whole bikes for cheaper than that. I bought my trusty 1989 Bianchi for $100.

If it fits, buy it.
