Have only been able to take it a spin around the office (50m max!) due to the weather..

needs more celeste ;-)
very nice0 -
I wondered where this had gone??
As I said in the previous post, I feel sure I have a Bianchi in me, possibly my next bike will be of a celeste persuasion. This is a thing of beauty though. 8)Bianchi ImpulsoBMC Teammachine SLR02 01Trek Domane AL3“When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race. “ ~H.G.

Stunning. Want one. Not been able to convince myself that I would do it justice. Not been able to convince the wife that it would be a sound investment. A truly beautiful bike. It would look even better with some of those celeste frame protectors. Oh and remove the plastic disk from the rear wheel. It only collects muck.Someone's just passed me again0

Looks very nice. I'm thinking of getting the 2014 Ultegra from Epic as I'm after the black frame. Going to change the wheels to Mavic too.
What cages are them?0 -
Looks good bud! I'm thinking of stripping my addict and building a bianchi
Might have to wait till spring though ...
I like the stealth look but as said a touch of Celeste can't hurt 8)0 -
I've been thinking a lot, I'd buy one of these Bianchi, but I saw the bike Merelli and said that it's okay if expensive, do you mind if rikta and difficult to obtain, I want a bike Merelli. Of course, the Bianchi is like, but my dear the bike Merelli. I know it will be too expensive and the value will be later, many years later.0

Either I'm still pi$$ed from Xmas, or that last post needs some English lessons.....or predictive typing taken off!

Ah yes! My dear the bike Merelli, where Bianchi is advantage but renounce with Merelli and easy or quick. With black Bianchi achieve is fast but not dear for Merelli my dear the bike. The value will be many, many years later but it's okay with rikta and Merelli for big success!0 -

Going to change saddle to to an arione....with a touch of celeste
No!!! No point adding Celeste to no Celeste for the sake of it. Just get the black and white stripe one, £30 cheaper at least!My blog: http://www.roubaixcycling.cc (kit reviews and other musings)

RSM - don't know if you bought your bike but have you tried bianchistore.de. They usually offer more than one frame colour per specification. So for example the 2014 Intenso with Veloce was available through them with the celeste and the all black frame. Worth taking a lookSomeone's just passed me again0 -

That deal is for the Infinito mk 1 not the Infinito CV. The sempre pro is a better frameset than the original Infinito. I rode the original a few times and its not as sharp handling and has a similar sat up geometry as my Via Nirone. Sempre pro is a much nicer ride if you want to go fast. New infinito CV is great if the roads you ride on are bumpy. luckily for me where I ride is mostly smooth and well maintained.0 -

I would put some of the bumps down to your choice of saddle. Never got on with fizik saddles for anything other than flat and smooth riding.0
