90s Celeste Bianchi Eros
My father-in-law passed away and left us his beautiful Celeste Bianchi Eros. I think he got it in the late 90s, but I could be mistaken. We'll likely have to sell it, but I have idea what to ask! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'd love to upload some pics, but I'm new here, so I'm not allowed to.. I'll see what I can figure out..

I failed to upload pics, but they're in my gallery if you want to take a look there!
Along with a few other random photos that I accidentally uploaded and can't figure out how to delete..

That particular model is not very collectible.. Mirage groupset is pretty low end and the unicrown fork isn't doing it any favors. Plus, it's smaller size. In Southern California, I'd say it's worth about $200 to $300 in that condition. Good luck with the sale!

The Mirage components place it as 99 or so date wise. As for value I would agree on $200-300. I would say clean it up real nice take some new pics including a full drive side pic and list it at $350 to start and be willing to take $100 or so less if you want to sell it.

He was rather tall for the Eros. It does look that the seatpost and stem are at or beyond minimum insert. I would adjust those lower. Gosh, drop the stand and fender, useful those are not what people want as buyers. Some will stay away from bikes that have had kickstands.

+1 on taking the dorky fender and stand off the bike.

Haha - thanks all for your advice!
I had actually planned on doing those things off - I wouldn't want those on a bike like this!
