The description says: "Bianchi racing bicycle, Paris-Roubaix model from 1951. size 55 cm (seat tube) x 57 cm (top tube). Many of teh components have been switched out. The following are original: Frame and fork (unfortunately repainted), the derailleur and the unbranded rear hub, the brake calipers and the chainring."

The seller, Aldo, does not have a paypal account. I understand that he speaks English reasonably well. Reproduction decals are not that hard to find for this model bike and the paint is also quite easy to reproduce. (I know that Ed Litton for one has the decals and the ability to replicate the paint job) The handlebars and brake levers are not correct, however, because the sought-after reverse brake levers that are mounted, you could sell them and would perhaps already be reasonably far in paying for a more appropriate set. My guess is that shipping would be about 200 euros.
