    Love that shape, but it's a shame they don't do the Celeste colour and Shimano groupset...

    Nice ride looks really good in red/white colours
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    My thoughts exactly!

    Have seen a few of these out and about, as well as in bike shops and they look amazing in person -> especially in celeste :wink::mrgreen:

    Im confused, they do make it with shimano parts but with a FSA crankset. Mine has Shiamo Tiagra, no?

    Yes, but I'd like to be able to spec a Celeste one with Tiagra (or 105). Just because I really love that Celeste colour.

    Looks good to me. I hankered after a Bianchi also - love the styling of their bikes. I found that they weren't such good value new in terms of spec /£. Oh and I wanted a carbon frame for no rational reason!! I hope you enjoy it.

    Hi, hows the bike holding up now you have had it a while? I've seen this and they look great, might buy one, but wondered what your opinion is?
    Cheers
