Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The owner couldn't provide any information? Bikepedia may be a place to check, also bicyclebluebook but you may need a bit more info

It's the seller's job to know this stuff -- ask him. The frame design, paint job, and decal job are so ugly that I wonder if this is some guy's attempt to make his no-name POS look cooler.

That doesn't look like a real Bianchi to me.

I could be wrong but the fork doesn't look right for a Bianchi.

The shifters are on the stem tube for Gosh sake. This alone would make me walk away.

It is a CCM Presto with a paintjob. (frame at least, most likely brakes too)

Thank you guys very much! It seemed a little sketchy, so I just wanted to verify if it were real or not.
