Flavor text: Very nice bianchi road bike Modified Handlebars , Brakes, Other Unfinished, and coats of boied linseed oil on frame protect it! Best for heights 5-3 to 5-9
Drivetrain. Front Derailleur MIA
This is one sorry Bianchi. It's anyone able to tell from these photos what modelthis started as? It's listed for $168, though if I flake off the name, it'd probably be $20. It kills me because it's my size apparently, but would require far more work than I'm capable of.

It looks like a early 1980s, Japanese manufactured, Bianchi Sport with a flat bar conversion.

I couldn't make out the derailleur plate, but what looks like a 7 might actually be a Z. I'll dig in catalogs later to see if i can mm find a component match and place it in the lineup. I was confused by the apparently chromed fork ends and downtube shifters.

I thought v-brake too. Sharp eyes on @Bianchigirll. I appreciate everyone's help in this exercise, we're close enough to an ID for this future (current?) rat bike. Looking at it again, there's no front brake at all either. The owner wants a 7 speed cruiser; that must be it
. This would take a lot of time and polish, and potentially a repaint.Thanks for playing!
