  • £40-£50 maybe?

  • Dibs the RUNS VERY SMOOTH , if you split.

  • £349

    But seriously, I think it is a little overpriced: http://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/very-light-bianchi-road-racing-bike-58-cm-frame-new-tires-campagnolo-gear-excellent-condition/112391266

    Perhaps £150-£200ish is a bit more reasonable?

  • Funnily enough, the ad has been taken down.

  • ha!

  • it's worth what someone will pay for it, and people will pay more for celeste bianchis than perhaps they ought to.

  • thanks all!

  • Car Boot £50
    Newpaper Ad £100
    Gumtree & internet classifieds £160-200
    Ebay £200
    A Shop selling trendy classic bikes. £250-£300

    None of these is a rip off in context. But £350 on Gumtree is pushing it.

  • That really is top end. You'd be looking at 175-250 with what is quite low spec components.

  • mid-range frame so this above is about right (£175-250).
