    Dam all that masterb -er drooling over bikes and they digitally enhance them! Should be banned or at least labelled as digitally enhanced. :oops:

    I could forgive them this awful design feature but somehow a Bianchi doesn't look right in any other colour than Celeste.

    It's not broken, something's gone funny at the photoshop stage. If you look carefully you can see parts of the letter B twice, and the 'break' is a little to perfect.

    But why on earth would you need to Photoshop it? It's a bike, it's not as though you need to remove any cellulite or spots.

    There must have being a reason, the whole BB area with the chainset on is chopped.
  • Clearly it's a cut-n-shut :)

    Front end of one bike, rear end of another, badly joined in the middle...

    Why do they always photoshop the valves out? It's not as if anyone would be offended by seeing them. How else do they think the air gets into the tyres?
