A classic steel Bianchi Randonneur. A great touring bike, could also be used as a commuter / grocery-getter.
Key points:
-57cm size (could fit someone 5'11" - 6'3") (180cm-191cm)
-3x7 drivetrain with bar-end shifters
-Cantilever brakes with Kool Stop brake pads
-Full fenders to keep off the rain and road spray (great for winters).
-Front and rear racks.
This bike has the low-trail geometry which has come back into vogue in recent years for bikepacking and touring (see, e.g., https://www.boxdogbikes.com/).
It's a high-end touring bike built in Japan with Ishiwata tubing in the 1980s. I believe the racks are original (and in great shape). The bike tubing is in great condition (no dents or damage). The decal stickers have peeled quite a bit and the paint is in decent condition, a few nicks and scrapes but no active peeling/flaking. I've treated any spots with nail polish to keep them protected. The saddle has a small rip in the padding. I had the wheels trued by Campus Bike Shop and the brake pads replaced with Kool Stop brake pads (best brake pads on the market). I've always stored it indoors in my bedroom (which is why I'm selling--I have three bikes in my room and it's getting a bit cramped).
550 or best offer, cash or Venmo accepted, meet on campus. Happy to send more photos or answer any questions.
