I don't really want to get rid of this, but its really just too small for me. I would much rather someone have it who will use it. Heres the scoop:
For sale or trade is a... 1984 Bianchi Nuovo Racing. This was Bianchi's entry level racing bike of the early 1980s. See the 1984 catalog here: bulgier.net/pics/bike/Catalogs/Bianchi-8 4/3.jpg
I purchased this from the second owner who had put about 20 miles on it. Original owner had supposedly ridden the bike about 200. Since November of 2008 I have probably ridden the bike another 200 miles. A few small paint chips (which could easily be fixed with some celeste touch-up paint) and some of the decals are peeling, but other than that its in great shape. All original except new Cinelli bar tape, cables/housing, Michelin Erilium tires, brake pads, water bottle and cage, Ale toe clips and straps, Sram chain, and one of the original Ofmega pedal dust caps was missing (replaced with an MKS one.)
57cm center-to-center. 32 1/2 inch standover height. Columbus Tre-Tubi steel tubing.
Campagnolo Nuovo Record Derailleurs and shifters
Ofmega Bottom Bracket and Crankset (52/42)
Ofmega 36 hole low-flange hubs laced to 700c Wolber/Super Champion Gentleman 81 rims
Regina 6-Speed freewheel (14-24)
Ofmega headset
3TTT bars and stem
Modolo Flash brakeset w/ NOS Modolo anatomic hoods
Gipiemme seatpost and binder bolt
Bianchi Selle Italia suede saddle

This would make a great rider, or with a little bit of work, even a fantastic show bike.
Asking $450 plus actual shipping.
Or would be willing to trade for a 60cm bike or frameset of the same era. What I REALLY want is a Lotus Competition or other high-end Japanese road frame. Preferably frameset, but would consider a complete bike.
Please get in touch if you are interested! Thanks alot!
