real bianchi?

[Steve Lewis]

Hi there, someone close by is selling this... Her husband left her and she is selling the attached. It's a bianchi (I think) could someone tell me if it looks legit? Im going to view it later

 

[ScotiaLass]

If her husband left her and she is selling off his things, I'd be wary!
He may not know and therefore she doesn't have his permission.

 

[Steve Lewis]

I already asked this question, she says she has it in writing that everything is hers.

go for it

 

[Steve Lewis]

Do you think it looks good Biggs?

 

[vickster]

Is it the right size for you? Ride it before splashing the cash

Why do you think it may not be real?

 

[young Ed]

how much they asking?
Cheers Ed

 

[young Ed]

it has a nice looking deep section rim on the rear but the white bar tape looks dirty and needs re-wrapping with black and i personally don't like the look of the brake leavers or saddle aesthetically
Cheers Ed

 

[vickster]

I hadn't even noticed the odd wheels, weird...why would you not replace both? concerns me about how well ten bike has been cared for overall

 

[Steve Lewis]

Yep, the odd wheels concern me slightly, I would change the bar tape, wheels and saddle straight off. She wants around 200... But I hope I can talk her down to around 120-150

I'm not to familiar with the brand. But I'd give it a miss. Either buy from your LBS or Evans.

Who knows it could be real. But there is no way of telling.

I went and looked at it yesterday... Bike was in ok condition few bits that needed doing offered £60, it looked pretty genuine to me... Made a note of all the parts on the bike just need to do some research. Trying to get my office on a c2w scheme as I really fancy a cube peloton or giant defy 1

 

[Soup890]

Did you just say Cube?? That is the bike off my dreams they do really nice colour schemes however, the colours are a bit child like but none the less very eye catching. I have never rode one. What do you think of this one?

l would say that if it's anywhere near ridable then that's a bit of a bargain. Do you know what model / groupset it is? Bianchi have a range archive on their website but it only goes back to 2010 as far as l can see, this looks a little bit older

 

[Steve Lewis]

I don't know what model it is at all - I was looking on the bike for something but couldn't find anything whatsoever, The bike is perfectly rideable - needs a few changes asthetically and a service. But waiting to hear if they will accept my offer.
