Once again, amazing how people can't spell the brand when it's right in front of them.

I don't know whether I want to ride that saddle or eat it on Christmas Eve.

Nice, but I don't think it's $2400 nice. Seller says 56cm. Seems a bit bigger than that. Maybe the pump under the top tube makes the head tube seem bigger? Mybe 56cm is the top tube length?

"Shimano DuraAce/600 group" ?? huh, everything I see on that bike says Campagnolo....
and, I thought Shimano 600 was what morphed into Ultegra, DuraAce was its own top end group ?

From Facebook Marketplace. Would be a hell of a deal if the fork wasn't "pre-bent for your convenience"

Though, to be fair, it doesn't look too bad in this shot.
(Note: I am now able to simply copy and paste photos from FB and CL. This is new, and welcome!)

I am hardly a Bianchi expert (or Italian bikes in general) but this example kind of looks like a dog's breakfast? Carbon fork, crummy looking stem, you have to wonder what the story is behind the fork replacement...

It is interesting how differently they are mangled, Driveside looks like an 'S'Wait a MINUTE! I think the reason the last shot looks better is that the bike was photographed at a completely different time, look at the different surroundings

Oh common, that's just photographic distortion It is interesting how differently they are mangled, Driveside looks like an 'S'
Wait a MINUTE! I think the reason the last shot looks better is that the bike was photographed at a completely different time, look at the different surroundings

I personally think this bike is a stem (and bar) swap from looking cohesive. Who knows the fork replacement. They could have just wanted to modernize and have it look cool. I've done that with a frameset that had a perfectly good fork (1983 Peugeot PB-14).

Regardless, we can agree to disagree:
