Hello, does anyone know what model of Bianchi this is? Bianchi Formula Two tubing, red frame, numeric serial 694081, no letter prefix.

Found it by the curb on garbage day. The tires were flat and have some fraying at the sidewalls, but they took (and still hold) air. I even rode up and down the street a couple times. Everything seems to be working. I'm guessing that it's a LeTour or something similar. Worth restoring?

I don’t know anything about this bike really, but it’s mine and I ride it all the time.

Last weekend a neighbor was moving out and offered me this bike that’s been sitting outside in his backyard since the owner passed away.

I was like “FUJI! Cool beans!” I remember (mid 70’s) racing friends on their Fuji’s. I don’t remember if theirs were touring bikes or even if my Peugeot was/is. (Will post my old bike in another post)

Oddly the one race I fully recall was when someone’s front fork on their Fuji split open mid race! We were all ‘indestructible’ teenagers and fortunately were able to walk away from accidents like this with skinned knees and elbows, luckily no broken bones!

As for this bike I know there’s plenty of ugly potentially seized parts even though the rims are straight as can be and bearings sound great! The cable lock is another minor obstacle.

By the way, I’ve noticed this sub is loaded with some of the most knowledgeable and helpful people I’ve ever seen. I learned more than my share with every post I read! I will truly appreciate any feedback, I’ll definitely take in consideration before I bust my knuckles and bank account. Thank you!!! 👍🏼😎

Hey guys. Don’t know much about this bike but looks like it folds and is in great condition. Paint and stickers are pristine. What are their value?

Found in Utica on my coast to coast roadtrip.

Tried reverse image searching but couldn't find this exact style.
