Bianchi Alfana purchase
I just picked up this very clean Bianchi Alfana and would like to know more about it, such as year, anything interesting, and estimated value!

The paint hasn't even worn off the rims, the owner said they only rode twice and it has been in basement ever since

this example looks in fabulous shape but if it has been siting for most of the last 30 years a good overhaul to replace the grease is likely in order. If the seat is properly set for you to ride it with correct knee extension it sadly may be too big.

Hello and welcome to the forums. The ‘90 Alfana a fabulous bike. The Prestige frame was top tier and provided a great ride while the shimano 105 was smooth shifting and reliable. Oddly Bianchi USA only had one Italian built offering that year, and was expensive and hard to get ahold of, so the Alfana was second from the top.
