Bianchi Brava

Picked up a 49cm 2006 Bianchi Brava a little while ago, Is it worth keeping, or is it a quick flip?

Are you asking us if you like it? Or are you asking us for an appraisal?

Non-snarky answer: Does it fit you?

Doesn't matter, that's not what or why I was asking.
Didn't ask for an appraisal, I can figure that out.
Doesn't matter If I like it either. It's a Bianchi either the value stands on it's own or it doesn't.
Since so many people answered, I assume it's trash. Windchimes then.

So what were you asking exactly? Who is better equipped than you to know whether you want to keep or flip it?

To the best of what I can learn about this f/f it's either chinese or taiwanese.
That's not something I'd be interested in personally. That being said, it's paint is a bit on the distressed side. If I'm going to do something with it, it needs paint or powder.
It's not worth what it would take to make it pretty again.
The only cache it's got is the name.
It is close to the size I prefer, but I don't want a chinese Bianchi.

I suggest asking specifically for what info you want. "Hey everyone. Is this an Italian frame?" Like that. It will save everyone's time.

This is a quality steel frame that rides well, but if your only criteria is if it's Italian or not then, no, you shouldn't keep it.

I thank you for your honest opinion.
