• right chaps,
    hope you are all well.

    missus ordered that I have to get rid off some of my bicycles and other 'things' (ongoing battle as you may imagine)

    here is up for grabs nice bianchi rekord 915 (yes, not record, REKORD)

    frame seat tube c-t-c 55cm

    mostly on camapgnolo Victory however wheels are not - most likely suntoure hubs and Super Champion Gentleman rims (which Sheldon though were brilliant) as on the pic (however front one is missing decals).

    handlebar and stem 3TTT

    nice bike rust free from what I can see - seems fully chromed wherevere paint came off

    spokes and hubs littly rusty and I would think wheels will need re-trueing /re-doing

    except that - very nice ride

    it was sat in the garage/cellar since early 90's as far as previous owner knew. I dont know much more as you may imagine.

    not hammered and if you properly clean/polish and possible touch up a bit will make beautiful bike.

    I didnt pay much and not looking for much profit - for £300 bike is yours.

    if more pics needed - let me know I will post them

    dibs followed by pm if interested please.

    thanks

    p.s.
    I am Reading (near) based - 20 min from Paddington or can deliver in 30m radius for small fee.

  • too expensive? too ugly? ;) not even a comment

  • A watched pot never boils as they say. Good luck with the sale - I bet you'll have some responses by morning...

  • too expensive? too ugly? ;) not even a comment

    Maybe.
    Tubing details might help, as would (IMO) popping on a silver seatpost, fresh white bartape and removing the pedals.
    Then you might get close to your asking.

  • thanks George, true is that I was trying to avoid that and avoid ebay (bast%$£s). if I go for the effort I will stick in on the ebay and make some profit.
    there is nothing wrong with the bike at all except not being used for a long time. chip on the pic is the worst one I can spot and frame being chromed sound like rust should not be a problem and doesnt seem.

    will see. if noone here will show interest it will get cleaned and done nicely then will go on ebay... but still hope it will find a new home here.
    thanks

  • anyone? before it end up on ebay...

  • Lovely bike. Why nobody see the beauty? Give it a little time and you have a real Italian classic.

  • Wanna ship to Finland??

  • can ship to finland if you organise it and i only have to box the bike

  • Seems too difficult. What a shame! Nice classic bike.

  • maestri, too difficult? to do what? book courier? oh, dear

  • Would you pay 120e for a courier when the bike cost 300gbp? Didnt think that.
    If u really wanted to sell and made a small effort you could ship the bike for maby 60gbp.
    Easy with the attitude, no wonder this wont sell.

  • maestri, it is my decision not attitude. had to much issues with people asking to ship not paying and wasting my time. how simple is that?
    how come postage will cost you 120e and me only 80e? where did you get that from? are they going to charge me less then you? wow!
    **
    "if you really wanted to buy and would made a small effort"** you will easly find cheap courier to get it. but hey that is most likely not a case and you are not really interested to buy just wanted to take part in discusion.

    good luck anyway.

    EOT

  • I only foud couriers in the price range of 100-140e? Thats a lot.
    If you found some cheaper you could maby recommend.
    Usually when im selling something i take care of the shipping and the buyer just pays the fee that I say.

    No hard feelings and good luck on ebay.

  • I have cleand the bike today a little bit and had a ride. everything works as it should if you want to ride it. wheels are not perfect but neither bad. gears changing fine.
    there is no rust on the frame whatsever only paint is scratch here and there.
    thanks
