Hi all,

New to the site and i need help.

I have just brought this bike from Evans and i cannot find this bike on any Bianchi site and i've googled it and nothng. All i have found out is that its a special model but how can i find out facts about the frame weight, etc?

http://www.evanscycles.com/products/bianchi/b4p-c-tech-carbon-105-2008-road-bike-ec016051

Do anyone here know anything about this bike and frame?

Help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

    Google it, loads of info :D
    I.M.H.O (and i can't state this enough)
    A Bianchi is only a Bianchi , in my eyes, if it is in celeste and with Campognolo, bare in mind though i'm a novice, what do you want the bike for, looks like a good, bargain steed :?:

    was just wondering what the weight of the frame was...

    but all i could find on google was links to Evans, saw another forum and they contacted Bianchi UK and they said i was a promo bike and they don't have specs or info and it would no show on their site or back catalogue.

    just found it strange seeing its made by them and they don't have any information on it?

    test rode it too, loved it and brought it there and then.

    If you take the bike into evans they quite often have a set of scales you can hang it on, I guess it depends which branch and how helpful the staff are.

    anyone out there with any new information about this bike?

    If this was a special frame, how comes Bianchi didn't keep it in their range?

    Is its a badly desgined frame? was it not popular?

    anyone know or works for Bianchi out there?

    Bianchi UK cannot help and i've also emailed Bianchi Italy but no response from them.... not too sure where to get information from now.

    If I can be of assistance I can translate your email into Italian for Bianchi.it Just in case they could not understand English.

    Although Bianchi have an Italian name, you'll find that they are a brand owned by a Swedish company called CycleEurope and are made in Taiwan!
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    This should help you. If you liked it enough to buy it why are you worrying.

    If you dig around on the web, I think you'll find that Bianchi's carbon frames are made by a Taiwanese companies Advanced Composites or Topkey - only a small number of their Reparto Corse Frames are actually made in Italy - and the team frames are generally outsourced too - I could tell you who makes the team frames too if you want?
