At £250 I'd say the Bianchi is already above it's true value.
It's clearly a much loved well maintained bike but even when new it was nearer the runt of the litter than the show pony.
The Trek would seem to be similar to the Bianchi it's also a very tidy bike.
I fear this will also end up nearer to the RRP than is comfortable for an ebay purchase.
With the evenings drawing in
LBS' will soon be thinking of clearing out their current stock to make way for the 2015 models.If you're not in any rush I might be worth keeping an eye on local shops so you're ready to swoop in a couple of months.

You make it sound like Winter has arrived. This is gonna be a long, hot summer.

Just seeing if you geeks have a funny bone in your body
Some threads are out of bounds for a hijack Simmo, this is one of them, leave now
Didn't realise you were a cyclist soon BN9? We're hoping to exchange next week so will be hitting the streets of Newhaven soon.
I didn't realise until till after posting the Bianchi is the same as one of mine, just with a better colour scheme.
What I will say about it that might be worth a couple of extra pounds I bet it goes like a rocket.
Your on the right track with those bikes, both just above entry level.
But both look very 'showroom', and you'll be paying well over £300 (possibly nearer £400) for that, which is new bike money.
Keep an eye out for a bike between those 2 ages, with a consistent groupset, good wheels, and looks like it's been ridden.
It's amazing the difference new bar tape/saddle and/or tyres can make to a tired bike.
Soon be Christmas.
I guess it all depends on what you define as funny.
Trying to mix Shimano and Campagnolo groupsets on a Scott bike with Mavic wheels.
Now that's funny
No I'm no longer a cyclist, well not at the moment, I prefer a long walk.
Hope the move goes well.

Hey [MENTION=1320]Notters[/MENTION] what is it with 58cm bikes, Trek and Ebay?
I'd keep an eye on this one just to gauge what prices are about.
Back in the day it would be about it's price now, for what is 'just a bike'.
If this pushes on way past £200, you might have a problem buying a reasonable bike on the cheap.

This one is interesting.
The fella hasn't done himself any favours with the photos or by setting a £400 minimum opening bid.
In the unlikely event of nobody bidding, I'd be tempted to swoop in with an offer of £300 settling for something like £350.
(Chances are it'll sell but not a long way past £400)

Not long to go on this one, seems quite a good price at the moment.
