    Don't see why you should be - Bianchi always a very desirable brand (thus you do have to pay a bit for the name).

    Wheels might be worth upgrading in time. Stock wheels at this price point are often the weakest component.
  • I actually meant i hope i wont be disappointed in road riding, I'm sure i wont be, it will be nice not to have to spend a fortune on worn out components all the time and have to clean the bike after every ride, cant see it being as exciting as mountain biking though, but time will tell
