Good choice dude

Wait for someone to whine about campag wheels on a shimano drive train.........

Having used both on the same frame I feel the Ultegra works better.

Nothing wrong with campy wheels with a shimano/sram gruppo... Shimano on a Bianchi however...

Very nice bike, but it needs more Celeste in my opinion.

MY first 2 Bianchi bikes were both Campag (Campy is Gay and should never be uttered) And I think my current one with Ultegra feels better than the others. The Sempre mk 1 had Campag 10sp Chorus.

Notice Team Belkin have gone with DA on their new Bianchi bikes for next season too.

Thanks for the comments guys, I prefer the shimano shifters to campag be honest.
I also preferred the matt black paint compared to all Celeste on the campag bike. I know bianchi should really be celeste but there's just loads out there like that and wanted to be i bit different,i think Celeste bar tape and hoods next might help add a bit more to the colour scheme.

Looks well, I had the exact same bike and spec minus the wheels but what disappointed me about it was the bottom bracket (BB30) I had to change every 2 months or about 5 times a year for 2 years, I was cycling about 8-10k a year which probaly didn't help.

Best of luck with it.

Fair enough, you enjoy what you enjoy.

Do pro teams actually choose any of their equipment manufacturers based on merit, rather than the financials of sponsorship, though?

Celeste bar tape sounds good, I'm not sure about Celeste hoods as well though! One or the other IMO.

Also, Celeste cages?
