Subject: [CR]Bianchi Centenario never ridden

On German ebay, there is a Bianchi centenario bike up for sale. This bike is off-topic by 2 years (1985), but as it celebrates the 100 years of Bianchi, I believe it exudes the KoF definition.

This was a limited edition bicycle that was often used by dealers as a showcase bike, so the seller's claim of it never having been ridden seems very believable. Almost all of the components are pantographed and/or were special production items for the occasion. I have been bidding on the bike since the auction first opened, but it is too small for me, so I can't justify going any higher. I believe this bike to not only be a nice bike, but also a shoo-in for long-term collectibility. The one offered is a 55 cm C/C:
