Does the chain look too long? It looks like the chain is on the lowest gear and the RD is hitting the chain stay.

I don't remember there being nuts on the outside of this crank...
Those don't look like chainring bolts to me.

Here's your chance to buy a half-empty 150g tub of old grease for only $199USD!!!
Remember, as the seller says, "No Campagnolo restoration is genuine unless you use genuine Campagnolo grease."

I can't say I understand the logic here either. I have seen Denali bikes repainted with Cannondale stickers applied being sold as Cannondales on CL.

Bargain Bianchi. "$1,365 (or, REASONABLE offer)" Bear in mind that this price is marked down from $2100, and I get the impression that whatever you might offer will not be considered reasonable.

Sharing from another thread...

Selling my crust lightening Bolt, disk brake version with the really pretty brazing. Need some money for my wedding and I already have too many bikes so here it is:
The rear derailleur has been replaced with an indexed bar setup, and the front derailleur isn't included because it has sentimental value. Because I'm sentimentally attached to bike parts. I can give you something from my box-o-parts if you want.
Specs/what is included:
54cm crust lightening Bolt
Velocity 27.5 wheelset
Nitto x crust 1" Threadless stem
Crust towel rack bar (ridiculously wide)
Mechanical actuated hydraulic brakes
Long pull cane creek drop levers
46/34 chainrings
11/36 11 speed cassette
Soma seatpost
Brooke's carved c17 cambium
Race face pedals

A pair of Schwinn Suburbans "...They have years of dust on them. Several years ago the Ocean City, MD bike dealer told me they could be worth 3 to 4 hundred dollars each. I want to sell them both as a pair for $200 ($100 each). They are in excellent shape and though old have had very little use."

It always amazes me when they get the name wrong.
In Canada you once saw every bike called a CCM or a Raleigh and I understand the go to name in the US was Schwinn
But this? What suggested R.A.L.E.I.G.H. and not F.U.J.I.?

The seller doesn’t really gain anything or return investing elbow grease and energy. New owner may actually enjoy the whole brought back from this condition to rideable part. If not they enjoyed the process of cleaning the bikes. They will look at the finished product and enjoy the feeling of accomplishment; remembering where it started from…as the seller it is just a chore…diminishing returns and all…I’ve had sellers hurriedly run an old towel over a paint job with a beautiful protective layer of dust and totally dull the paint!
My favorite situation is when the seller takes a bike stored for decades and rides it like they rode it decades ago! Balls and races in the bottom brackets and the hubs get scored or worse!
