It offered the necessary basic cushioning and will serve the purpose on city roads. The saddle on the Spillo is a Velo Custom unit, that is wide enough to accommodate most riders. The comfort focused frame, handlebar, and componentry translates to a rather enjoyable city commuter/cruiser. The overall ride quality of the Spillo Rubino was very comfortable. The Rims on the Spillo Rubino are 700c double walled alloy rims (32 hole). We must make a special mention of the smooth and easy roll of the wheelset, which was light and well balanced. The tires looked like they will be able to give you a considerable amount of mileage, while ensuring that the chances of punctures are minimal. The Semi-knobby nature of the tires is ideal for Indian city conditions. The DSI 700 * 35c hybrid tires combines the easy roll characteristics of a road bicycle tire, while having the necessary treads and grip of a MTB. There's some bargain older models out there.We really loved the tires on the Bianchi Spillo Rubino. I'd also suggest riding something new in the meantime, so you have a benchmark to compare it against. If it doesn't, you may be up for any or all of these and so your bargain could add up to be quite a bit pricier, but once that's done, still an OK vehicle. If it passes all of the above - it may well be great. If no 'jiggady', next, try changing gears under load - (easiest is riding out of the saddle up a hill) - any swap/change up/down of its own accord here could indicate the need for a new cassette and chain. When riding around, a slight jiggady-jiddady noise could just be the gears' indexing is a little bit out - which is a slight cable adjustment.
When riding, feel the pedal motion to see it's smooth. Check how easily the chain spins around - spin the pedals backwards and ensure the chain doesn't have any points where it seems to 'stick' a bit and so the jockey-wheels on the derailleur (the bit that changes the gears at the rear) don't bounce around. Check the tyres - for wear obviously, but also the sidewalls for any perishing/cracking. Squeeze the brake levers - if they seem a bit 'lethargic' that could be rectified with some lube down the cables, but if it's been neglected, it may need new cables. If you can't see the groove, it's probably toast.
