Hello!

I have a 58cm bianchi rekord 1973 (frame only) and looking to either exchange for a similar but smaller frame around 54-55cm or buy outright. Budget up to £150ish.

My frame is over 40 years old so obviously shoes signs of wear in terms of paintwork but it's not particularly rusty and from what I can tell the frame isn't damaged in any way. However, a guy in a bike shop said I'd probably only get £30 for it, that can't be right, right? I don't think the forks are bent or anything. It was to part exchange so he may have been trying to scam me.

I also would appreciate some help as to frames to look for that are light as most of the ones on ebay don't disclose their weight.

Let me know if anyone has anything suitable or has seen anything around! Thanks

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
