Wanted Bianchi Avanti

[Humanbeing]

OK so it's a cheap entry level thing but I can't help wanting one.

Anyone know where I can lay my hands on one in the UK?

Any condition, any size, frame only considered.

Big thanks for that @ibbz, it’s a fine bike but I’ve set my heart on getting something in Celeste blue and I’m shallow and on a super tight budget

On the plus side, I’ve got a goodish amount of bike spares and I can build a sharp bike from the ground up

No probs
What’s your budget?

looking for something for less than £100

If you want 2000 Celeste top of the range alloy Bianchi frame there’s one for £100 with bb and headset!
There’s also a quirky retro one for £60 but it’s not Celeste
I’ll keep a look out for you

This says £120 but the seller offered to offload it for £100 - but it’s modern - ish (2000) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bianchi-...p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

Thanks @ibbz I saw that as well (I have a saved search on eBay ).
It's got to be steel and retro to get into my really modest and space constrained 'collection'.
The Avanti seems to be the best thing to look for - I'm sure one will eventually surface and I just hope I catch it when it does!
