Hi everyone,

Please may somebody look at this advert and give me some advice? Is this bike a good buy for the price advertised? I'm a bit worried as the bike has been advertised for quite a while but not sold.

I'm looking to buy a road bike to commute to work but i also have a trip from London to Amsterdam planned next month. I've done a fair amount of cycling over the past 5 years but i've never really kept up-to-date with the technology behind the sport. All i know is that Bianchi is a trusted brand!

Thanks very much,

George

    Bianchi are no better than any of the other large brands at entry level, some people do like the idea of owning an Italian bike but you probably get more for your money with some of the other leading manufacturers. The Nirone 7 is Bianchi' version of a sportive bike although is racier than most. Regarded as a decent bike but comes with a heavy wheelset, price seems reasonable for what it is if the bike is in very good condition.
