Looking for something cheap, but that will not kill me at the same time.
Single speed with flip flop rear hub ideally.
Steel, aluminium, whatever...
Appearance not very important, but in good condition in terms of cycling, so I don't have to invest money and spend a lot of time servicing.
Front brake would be a good thing.Size 54 cm.
Budget around 100 pounds.
Donation will be made to forum as well.
Thanks -

Serial number is 78378
It is impossible to find it using these. Bianchi was terrible with serial numbers back in those days. Also reused them a lot. There are some online registers, but very incomplete.
Sheldon brown said it was a mid level Bianchi from mid 1970s. Decals and equipment confirm that. Also the story of the owner who bought it in mid 1970s.
Not sure of the exact model.

Here are pics of it's original state.

Confirmed authenticity with several people who know their stuff - both in Italy and online. For example Sheldon Brown - http://www.sheldonbrown.com -

Bike in London, as I live there now.
I am from Croatia. My home town is just 45 minutes drive from Italy.
This Bianchi was bought in a small village near Trieste in Italy.
It was sitting in an attic for years.
Based on decals, frame, and serial number - it is from mid 1970s.It has been fully restored.
Originally it was painted red.
Frame was professionally sandblasted and painted into Bianchi Tomato Red colour.
New high quality decals applied.
All other parts thoroughly cleaned and serviced.
It rides beautifully.I then transported it to London just recently.
I am selling it mainly because it is too big for me, but also because lack of space and needing the money for other projects.ORIGINAL
Frame - size 56 cm
Simplex Derailleur - cleaned, taken apart, some components changed with NOS ones, works great.
Dia Compe brakes - new pads
Lepper stem
SAKAE Crankset
Mavic Normandy wheels - thoroughly polished - in great conditionNEW
Bianchi handlebar tape
Chain
Pedals
Wires - Shimano
Selle Italia Turbo seat
Tyres - VittoriaOn the wall since restored.
Only had a few test rides - less than 10 miles in total.I am looking for 350 pounds.
Collection preferred. Would consider posting.
Can been seen in London - SE17.
Thanks for looking. -
I think the price in this range is fair. Their most iconic MTB is Rampichino from mid eighties. I’ve seen them go for anywhere from 200 to 400 Euro on Italian classifieds.
