Subject: [CR]help with early 50s Bianchi

Hi All, I'm considering the purchase of an early 50s bianchi CdM. I thought the info that I recieved from the owner might have a place in Dale's Bianchi register. The serial number is 527077, it was purchased in the spring of 1952 from an unknown shop in NYC - Brooklyn I think.

Given this sparse info, I'd like to date the bike if possible. I also have to come up with a fair price to offer the owner and am not sure how to arrive at a figure - If any one would care to contact me offlist I'd very much appreciate your opinion. The owner will have some digital pics soon, so that will certainly help.

Regards, -Chuck Taylor Boston,MA
