FS Bianchi Eros Donna 44

[Slowspoke]

I put her up for sale last year and didn't get any offers worth taking ($400!). She is in excellent health but depressed from lack of riding. I have had her since 2004 and through a series of injuries have not been able to ride her much. I doubt that there are even 1500 miles on her. Here is a stock pic, I will send pics to anyone who wants them, just email me.

PS I am keeping my brooks saddle. Not even sure what a reasonable price would be. Suggestions?

[Biciclista]

pictures? Componentry?

[Slowspoke]

You were looking at the right model. Cromoly frame, carbon fiber fork and mirage components. If I am not mistaken, it was the first year that model was made in Taiwan. My computer is not playing fair tonight so I can't post pics but I will soon. I think I asked $900 obo last year. She is like new and I can't let her go too cheap, but I will consider reasonable offers.

If I were living in the US, I would be very tempted. Is it the Mango color? I still want to see the pics, just to drool...

[Slowspoke]

Yes,she is kandy mango. I named her carman Miranda :)

[Slowspoke]

I can't seem to post my pics, but I uploaded them to my profile. Please take a look.

Hey, thanks I didn't know we could HAVE albums. I did look at your bike and it's gorgeous. I just set up my own album! :D

[indysteel]

I have the 2006 version of this bike. I love mine. Good luck finding a new home for her.

[Slowspoke]

I do love this bike. I hurt my shoulder though and since then, I cannot get comfortable for any length of time on this bike. It's been more than a year so I have to either go recumbent or ride totally upright on my comfort bike. :rolleyes:

Me either! I will have to set mine up too, and check out everyone else.

[Catrin]

Awesome feature, didn't know about the albums either. Pretty bike!

[Slowspoke]

Are you sure you want to pass the beauty up? :p

I've been looking for one of these for ages! It is for my best friend, who is still riding a bike I cobbled together from spare parts our senior year of college. My friends and I organized a fund for her birthday to get her a new bike this year, but since she is rather small I've been hoping to find an Eros Donna. Sell it to meeeee!

I would love to! How about filling out your profile? Where are you located? Send me a pm with your location and phone number. I am sure we can work something out.

[Slowspoke]

Still available.

[Slowspoke]

I will let her go for $825. This bike is in great condition and deserves to be ridden!

[molasses85]

Hi Slowspoke,

I have some questions about this bike...I'm sending you a pm!

Thanks.

[Slowspoke]

Bike is still available!

[emily_in_nc]

And I'm still in love with it! But not living in the US, just can't do it...sigh... I hope it will sell soon and help us both out!

[emily_in_nc]

You could leave it at your mother's....:D

Don't think I haven't thought of that! :D But I already have one bike there, and as little as it looks like we'll be visiting, I just can't justify the cost. :( If I were still working and had a nice salary coming in, I would go for it, but since I am living on savings... I just can't go there.

It is a beautiful bike, tho!

[geaux]

Is it still for sale?

[moderncyclista]

You should post an actual photo of the bike being sold, (stock photo, etc.) in the thread. That would probably help. I know if you click on your profile you can view some, but people are lazy. *shrugs*

Most people don't want to message too much back and forth. They want to "see" first. Serious buyers might be slightly antsy about not seeing a picture in the thread.

Bianchi's are awesome. If I had extra cash, I'd be tempted. Post a photo and who knows. Best of Luck! :D

Edit: to post photos you can upload them to photobucket then cut and paste the [img] code.

Is the Bianchi still available?

[Slowspoke]

I still have my beautiful bike. I am moving to an area with mixed dirt/cement roads. I need a bike that will accomodate wider wheels. I will definately consider a trade. This bike is awesome, just not right for me now.

sending you a PM with a trade you may be interested in...

[Slowspoke]

The bianchi is sold!

[Biciclista]

YAY! My sister is getting this for her birthday!

[indysteel]

What an awesome gift, Mimi! Is it going to be a surprise?

[Biciclista]

no, no. a bike surprise is a bad idea. I had her try out some bikes that fit closely. And she really wanted a Bianchi. She loves the color.

[indysteel]

Smart way to approach it! I have this bike in a different color (2006 model). I love it!

[Artista]

Your sister has a great sister, Mimi:)

[Slowspoke]

I can't wait to hear how she likes it!

[Biciclista]

Here is my sister with her gorgeous new Bianchi!!

That's awesome, Mimi! I seriously considered buying this bike and having it shipped to my mom's, even though I am in Belize. Ultimately I just couldn't justify it at this time. I am glad someone else bought it so I don't have to contemplate it any longer! I hope your sister will have many happy (s)miles on it!
