to buy or not to buy...

[thom]

I found a older Bianchi ten speed. I can buy it cheap. The bike is too tall for me.I know that Bianchi bikes have the good components such as deraillers , brakes and wheels.I suppose that I should buy it and watch for a smaller frame to use the parts on.What say ye? :?:

Can't hardly go wrong with cheap + Bianchi...

leave it a Bianchi, they are a great brand.
buy it, clean it up, resell it for a nice profit, buy a bike that fits you.

Buy it, strip it down and sell the frame to someone making a fixie. Then go to Nashbar and buy a closeout frame your size and have fun.

Choice D: None of the above.

Let some taller guy who wants the cheap Bianchi to ride be the one to buy that cheap Bianchi to ride.

I bought it. My new rule---if i doubt , buy it.

I would like to know more about it , like the age and the price when it was new. I first thought that it had been repainted but I am not sure.Any info will be appreciated. 8)

From info I found on another site I have learned that the bike is a 1984 model.
