For sale is my beautiful purple 08 WSD aluminum Bianchi complete with Shimano's 105 drivetrain and an FSA triple crankset. She is in great shape with a few cosmetic dings that occurred while I was learning how to use clipless pedals.She needs a new home since my new full carbon bike has arrived.
Bike has about 1500 miles on it. Am asking $700.
Here is a link to her on my photobucket:

And a link to specs and geometry on the Bianchi site
Some more details:
Wondering if she'll fit? I am 5'2 with a short torso. My BF (top notch lbs mechanic) can give guidance and advice regarding fit....
Wondering about upgrades (and more details)? I will include the original michelin tires (great for training) as well as the blingy gold Continental 4000 tires that are on the bike ($120 worth of tires). I will also include the carbon bottle cages that are on the bike ($60 worth of cages). In addition, I will include the original RC alloy stem (90mm, +/- 6 degrees) as well as the 100 mm Bontrager stem that is currently on the bike ($45). Price however does not include a saddle. Any packing and shipping would be done by the BF (so, professionally)...

Will she accept a rear rack? (i.e., in part, is the rear triangle all aluminum)?

It is a carbon seat stay. I can find out from my BF if there is any way to put a rear rack on it...

Just a little happy message given all the drama surrounding the FS section recently...
Sexy purple Bianchi seems to have safely arrived at her new home in sunny southern California. Am hoping to see new pics of her with her new owner posted on TE sometime soon.
YEAH TE for making another carbon free bike recycle possible! YEAH!
