Need help on this 1950-1960's BIANCHI
I picked this up today. Dont know what the year or model. The Parts are Bianchi and Campy. Seem to be in nice shape, no major dings. Thanks

Nice score. I'm thinking early to mid 60's Bianchi. Those cranks are really nice. Cool old Campy derailleur. Does it say "Record" on the rear derailleur? Those are worth quite a bit on their own.

The derailleur has Camp grand sport. I didnt see any sticker any where. The serial is 122xxx and look like a 8 or b to the edge.

Beauty! Early or mid 60s looks like a good guess to me, but it could be later 60s and a mid level model. Very cool in any event. What is the branding on the crank arms? Have you checked the date in the axle nuts?

Give us a few more closeups of the components: derailleurs, brakes, wheels(showing the hubs and any markings on the rims) plus any decals/lettering on the frame.
Right now your Bianchi looks to be early 60s, probably a mid-level model with stamped dropouts and a derailleur claw hangar. Still a very desireable bike in great condition. Good score.

I will clean it up tonight, and post better pictures. Would it better to try and sell it here or ebay/craigslist. I was thinking 350-400 for it?

Are those steel rims? This is an interesting bike. Is it $350 interesting? I don't know.
If it were my size I might consider it at $250.
Needs some fixing up. Tires, handlebar tape, a leather saddle would be a big plus.

Constant tinkerer
All cleaned up, refurbished, with fresh tires, cables, and grease in the bearings I don't think $350 would be out of line. But as it sits? No. It's not high end enough for that. This bike is from a time when Campy made a whole range of components, not just super high end stuff. And these are not super high end parts. I would say $200-250 as is.
It could possibly bring that on ebay if you are good at marketing and have a good reputation. But I don't think you will get that on C/L.

The Universal 61s are a nice touch, work great last a lifetime. I'd say no more than $400.
