Value of this Bianchi as it sits
This is a bike I'm likely going to put on Craigslist as I just got another and have to make room. It is a Bianchi Squadra. I believe a midrange bike from mid 80s. It seems to have most (if not all) original components. A few little dings and scrapes. A little rust. Not the largest bike - I measure 21.5 inches from middle of crank to middle of where seat tube meets top tube. The wheels are Specialized and the tires are mismatched. Ofmega components for most part. Universal brakes. It is rideable but probably could use a tune up. Gears work. Brakes stop it. Ideas on value? Thanks! Pics may come in a couple posts.

Love the color !!!!!
As it sits.....maybe 400.00
Depends on where you are located
Local sale or willing to ship ?
Can usually get a higher price if willing to ship....but that also adds to aggravation and more time.
Not sure if chainrings and or cassette need to be changed
I would try to keep it 😁😁😁🚲🚲🚲🚲😁😁😁😁🚲🚲🚲🚲

$400? I wouldn’t have figured that high. I’m in Central Va. I’m at the point where I can’t have a new bike unless one goes - per my wife. This is a decent bike but the one replacing it is nicer.

Based off this thread I have it at $350 OBO locally. I think chainring and cassette are okay if you mean wear to teeth. The hoods are shot and bar tape. Tires are sketchy.
I’d ship but as you say not sure it would be worth the trouble - finding box (pay for such?), package properly, ship (I guess pass that cost on to buyer).
i do wonder how one of those bike shipping services work though…

Local bike stores usually give away the boxes their new bikes come in. shipbikes.com and bikeflights.com are good. You can get more info and pricing on their websites.

1986 model. No celeste. No Campagnolo. I'd say $400 is on the high side. I'd be looking at $300-$350.
