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

Could this be a deal?

So I've been thinking of getting myself a road bike again. I had one a few years back but never really rode it so I gave it to a family member since he was more into road cycling.

I am shopping around for a bike that's not to expensive because what happens when I decide to stick to mountain biking?
So I found a Bianchi 928. It's got a full Campagnola chorus (10 spd) groupset. Campagnolo Zonda wheelset. It's a 2008 moddel but still brand new basically.

I can get it for $960. Do you guys think it is a good deal or should I keep looking?

New condition with full Chorus and Zonda wheels? Heck yeah. If this is the bike it was over $6000 new.

The 928 is Bianchi's old top frame, and the group and wheels are very nice too. I'd go for it.

Anyways thanks for the replies
