If it has a good frame and paint job, meaning no bad dents, rust or bad scratches and the bottom bracket is good, that’s a steal. Normally, people who buy those italian bikes took really good care of them and they can bring a high price tag because of that. Your components, group set, brakes, seats, bar tape, tires, etc., can all be replaced for cheap. You absolutely need to check it out before it’s sold. I bet he has 10 hits on his email / text after 24 hours. *** Just one last thing: If it’s has a lot of rust or scratches, I would skip it even at $99 unless you just plan to ride as is.

If those little green stickers say “bianchi special Columbus” which would make it an ’85 model, the only year they used “special Columbus” branding.

Could be a Stelvio?
