I can't find any reviews on this bike. Nothing about the weight. Has great spec on it.

Thinking of buying this bike, but between this and scott scale 60 and Specialized SL Comp.

Anyone have any knowledge of Bianchi's?

    Nope, I have a local Bianchi dealer, but never been in (more of a roadie shop)

    Go test it?

    I am tagging on to a really old post here, but, this is the only hint of any comment I could find of the Bianchi Jab (let alone the 7400) online.

    I bought one last week - fantastic hardtail to ride albeit early days yet. Are there any other owners out there? I have a couple of small concerns/queries: firstly, the specs online suggest it has a full SLX crankset, but my crank arm is not marked SLX. Secondly, pictures online and specs online say rims are Mach 1 MX - mine are Maddux X320 (which again I could find no reviews for online but I have doubts as to their quality, although they are quite light).

    I love the bike, but just want to hear from anyone else who has one and/or anyone who can help me work out whether the rims I got are as good as what was originally specced.

    Thanks :)

    And if you read the small print it will say the specs are subject to change.

    Bianchi are just the expensive version of Cressent MTBs and have very little to do with Bianchi road bikes.

    What does it mean not much. Would I buy one? No.
