Evening All.
I'm a bit tired of my everyday beater conversion. Trying to decide on an affordable frame. I've never ridden a Bianchi, although they do look nice, are they just overpriced? Surly look nice enough also. I found a hungarian site selling NOS Coppi City Master frames....

Scroll down to the black one, I can get it for €280 ($390). Anyone know much about them? Any info would be appreciated -

Bianchi is a bianchi, it has history though many people seem to hate on them but I think that might be because SOOO many people have them. I have never riden one but I don't see anything wrong with them.
A Surly is overpriced for what it is. A heavy 4130 CroMo steel frame with nothing too special about it...not worth the $400 for the frame.
I would say that the Coppi is a pretty good deal but you have to think about shipping with that $390.
MORE OPTIONS: Pake ($200 frame), Mercier Kilo ($225 on ebay w/ Reynolds tubing), KHS Flite 100 ($250 on bikebiz.com), Soma Rush ($270 on bikebiz.com right now)
Good luck -

Cool, thanks BB, I'm in Ireland so hopefully the shipping won't be that expensive! -
