Kind of interesting Bianchi

Not my size but I’m wondering if it’s a nice frame based on that fork. Interesting shifters too

It's from around '85 and nothing special, judging by the Mangalloy frame. The bar/stem and brake levers are definetly replacements. I think the shifters are basic Shipmano Golden Arrow (aka early 105)series from the era. The brakes liike like shipmano Z series

EDIT 1749: Upon closer inspection it seems to have a RD hanger so it might not be too bad but is still more Sport and Recreational level, perhaps an '85 Sport SX. INformation on the cranks and deraileurs would help or tubing on the frame.

I mean ….$50? If was your size it could be a great bike with some cleaning and perhaps a different handlebar , front brake and complete going through. I don’t think the present owner knows much about bike mechanics. Cables and other parts could add up but it looks like it will clean up nicely . I , personally , enjoy getting a bike in this condition and making it nice. It doesn’t ride great as the ad says …no shift cables , front brake missing , and the rear brake not trust worthy , but other than that….

Needing help identifying bike…I know I know

Okay so I just joined this website specifically so that I could ask Bianchigirll a question lol (it won’t let me pm you until I’ve created 10 posts). I see you answering a lot of questions on here and I was wondering if you could help me identify my bicycle. It’s a Bianchi advantage and the serial number is GP774774. I can try to figure out how to post a pic here in a min. It’s blue. Women’s bike I’m pretty sure. I’m just needing someone who has knowledge in this area and judging from your posts and replies on these forums, you seem to know your stuff! Willing to help me out?

Good Evening Thank you for your vote of confidence. You should be able to upload pics to your gallery and we can see them. The serial doesn't do me much good so can you tell me a bit more about some of the components?

I realize you have the womens model but does it liik just like this one with a grey line through the Bianchi decal?

Hi! Sorry I’ve been mia for a while. Because I’m so new here, it won’t allow me to upload pics of the bike. But the serial number is H9A70421. It’s kind of like the one you posted above but it’s more of a royal blue color, a bit darker of blue than you posted. It’s a Bianchi advantage. Does that help any? Again, thank you so much in advance!

Hello Welcome back. Yes it helps the Advantage was a great little, and the very first, Hybrid bike. Decent quality gear all around for the MSRP.

If you care to send me a few pics I'll post them. BianchiGirLL@yahoo.com
