1990 Celeste Bianchi Equinox
Hi folks, I just picked up what appears to be a 1990 Bianchi Equinox. Completely original minus seat, tubes, and bar tape. The tires even have the little nubies on them and could be original as well.
The bike has some chain slap marks and a couple of scrapes from storage. All the stickers are on and pristine. The pedals and chainrings have 99% of their paint.
Looks to have been purchased and used just a bit, and then stored in a basement.
I am in at $350, and worried I may have overpaid a bit. I am in NYC area if it matters. It's pretty fast too! Comments, please.

A pristine celeste Bianchi with high-end SunTour XC stuff for $350 in a hot market- I think you did absolutely fine. Some folks really like those Command shifters too.

No way you overpaid for this. I live in a smaller city in the Midwest and that bike is worth that much where I live.

As a rider I think you did really good. Not sure there is a lot of flipping room unless you want to get into shipping it

Thanks Guys! It's a keeper, no plans to flip or anything. I am going to change a few things, but keep all of the parts ordered and safe.
