Any ideas as to value of this entry-level Bianchi?

I just bought a blue one that is almost just like it for $85. Yours is cleaner and I think that I got a good deal on mine so I would say that yours is worth about $125 to $150.

In Buffalo??

Frame is in great shape but Buffalo is hard place to sell bikes. I know because I buy them there because they are so cheap. You could try $125 and maybe just maybe get a hit but I expect you'd be hard pressed to get $100.

I am in Cleveland and paid $85. I don’t actively buy and sell bikes so I don’t know if Cleveland and Buffalo are similar markets or not. It seems to fit my view of good bike at a fair price though.

Almost like new was an exaggeration of course. I should have said that it pretty much as all original parts and is in good shape. I am tuning it up and will probably have to replace the chain and maybe the freewheel.

Original parts is not a plus at that level as all the parts are cheap. A few tasty upgrades would add value.

Got it. It is good to know that there is no need to keep the old parts around if I want to change them out. Right now I tuned it up pretty well and all of the gears and brakes are working nicely for my daughter so I don’t plan the change out any parts until it is necessary.

I don’t think that it was used very much when it was new. It was hanging in a families garage for years. There kids probably used it in the neighborhood for a few years then left home.
