Hi
Any advice on upgrading to a Bianchi Oltre, anyone got one who can give feedback on the bike?
If so, how tall are you and what size frame do you ride?
I test rode one for 20 miles a few months ago and thought it was absolutely great, however this was a top end build that I would not be able to afford, looking at Chorus groupset.
Have been riding a Ridley Orion Ultegra for 4 year's, upgraded wheels two years ago to Fulcrum Racing Ones which I would put on to new bike
Never done any racing and don't intend to, might do some local TT next year but low key affairs
Most riding is around Dales / Forest of Bowland, anything from 20 miles to 100 miles, completed etape du dales this year in 7 40 ish.
Main aim in cycling is to get out, keep fit and be competative with the people I ride with, never going to be the lightest rider at 90kg, but quite strong on the hills and flat, bit of a girl coming downhill though.
Not sure I 'need a new bike', as the Ridley has been great but the Bianchi does look good....
Thanks

There was a tes in Pro Cycling a few months back with Marcel Wust and he loved it (as do I) Its a beautiful bike and anything at that kind of money will not dissapoint and will be more bike than you will ever need. Buy with the heart as you only live once. Ride what makes you happiest or will want to make you ride more.0
