I just want to double check again, one last check before I bounce on this $250 for a 2006 Bianchi Pista frameset 49cm

i am 5'4" and 130lbs, 30.5 inseam average. I checked the measurement guides and I was a 49 average, but I am a little scared it might be too small for me? will it be an uncomfortable ride for me? I don't want to ride with too much of a hunch, I want to ride to quite comfortably, but want to ask the proz if this will work. I've ridden a 54cm Trek road bike before, I was able to ride that comfortably.

knucks is correct ... that bike lives up to your username. you will end up dumping so much cash into it to end up with a mediocre steed.

Its more of just something cool I can do for/with my dad. Ive got an Iro on the way, so I thought it might be a fun project.

What exactly is wrong with it, besides the obvious rusting bits and pieces? The frame is good enough, even if It will be a money hole, yes?

Thanks for the help/suggestions.

working on and converting old bikes is definitely fun. they're like old cars though, you'll keep dumping money into them but the end result won't really equal what you put into them. its like my 86 benz 190e.. always needing shit done to it, but i got it for $400 so its like a go kart instead of a car.
