MISC:   Bianchi info ? posted by: Drew on 3/26/2007 at 4:45:33 AM
Where in the Bianchi line up is the Sport SS, circa 1980. It has decals which read "Piaggio" and "Bianchi AR Tubi Reinforzati"

"Renforzati" is a good sign, as it is equivalent to "double-butted." I suspect you have a mid-grade mixed tubeset frame, with a double-butted Columbus CrMo main triangle and either carbon steel or seamed CrMo forks and stays, making it pretty comparable to my Campione d' Italia.

That would be an auction? Try ebay. Include pics and a description. That would be appropriate because Bottechia made lots of "ALL original" bad bikes with a few good ones. Or there's a general for sale category here on oldroads. That might work too. Or you could offer it up with a firm price and pictures to back it up. The discussion list would become chaos if everyone posted items for bids...capice?

True. What do you think this bike is valued at? and what do you think a good price for it would be?

Without all of above details and pics, you can't evaluate it. That's what the auction format provides...info. It can be $75 or $750.
