1987 Bianchi frame
A guy I know has a Bianchi frame he is considering selling me. It is a 1987 or thereabouts. What do you think is a fair price or price range for it?
I am frankly not very inclined to buy it as I have just done a complete build of a 1994 steel bike and am ready to take a break for the time being, but would buy it if it is an interesting, worthwhile catch.

Not much to go by, but I would say given the level and what looks to be only needing cosmetic cleaning of frame. I would say $200 is pretty fair on both sides of the deal.
$125-150 max as is would be my buy, if the wheels spin clean
$300-350 as a cleaned and serviced
Its a lower level frame as an Italian manufacturing.

The subject bicycle is a 1987 Bianchi Limited, manufactured in Italy during late 1986. It is a mid-range model. The Bianchi Formula Two tubeset is believed to be rebranded Columbus Matrix/Cromor. I'm unclear if we're talking about pricing for just the frame and fork or the complete bicycle?

Those Formula Two frames are great riders, I miss the one I had. That color is called Metallic Ce4leste and so I know it was only used for two bikes the '87 Mondiale and the Limited. I seem some pics of some that look like a nice pale pearlish Celeste but the one I had was much whiter in tone.

BTW don't let the seller bamboozle you into thinking that frame is uber special because of that world championship sticker. Almost every Bianchi sold in '87 had that on them as well as '88/89 had a similar round sticker. It just commeratorates someone riding a Bianchi to victory in the '86 World Championship race.
