the uncompromising relentless fan commitment to one's brand choice in the face of universal derision is kinda impressive. has even one person not taken the p*ss?"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm1

I haven't, yet. What's a Bianchi anyway? Are they the ones the same colour as a 1980s disabled car?mididoctors said:the uncompromising relentless fan commitment to one's brand choice in the face of universal derision is kinda impressive. has even one person not taken the p*ss?

I believe they’re still the best bikes around. The fact you believe they’re a “ridiculously expensive purchase” speaks volumes. The price was an insignificant drop in the ocean for me, it was all about the bike. It’s all a case of personal perspective. As soon as the new Specialissima is available, I’ll be buying one of those as well. The only decision is whether to go with another Celeste version, or the black, or a Tavolozza job. I’ve ridden all sorts of bikes, from my budget numbers, to other people’s ‘big sticker’ rigs. The only ones that really lit my fire were the Bianchis. To be completely fair, I had a Pinarello Dogma F10 on loan a while back, and that was also pretty bang on. The F12 I tried before the XR4 was actually a step backwards ( in my opinion) as they’ve made it far too stiff. I also really quite liked a Supersix I had on loan last year, but it was a bit more of a chore on a 100 miler than the XR4. I got to ride a Cervelo S5, but I really couldn’t get on with it’s odd ( to say the least) front end. I’ve got better things to do than spend my entire life trying out any and every bike out there, there’s loads I’ve never ridden, but the ones I was most interested in, I have. I don’t generally tend to buy bikes, or build up bikes that often, it’s unusual for me to actually buy or build a new bike more frequently than once every 5 years, but when I do, I get it right ( for me ). There seems to be a lot of resentment / jealousy / outright trolling from certain posters on here, I really seem to have found a way of getting the trolls out from under their bridge by starting this thread though.Pross said:It's weird, back a few weeks they were riding them as they were the best bikes around now they've moved to Cervelo it's just a sponsorship deal thing (which was what sane people were saying about them riding Bianchi).
Someone is very keen to justify their ridiculously expensive purchase

Accidental Partridge or a piece by Chris Morris?2

I know. It's one thing to report on something happening to a pro team on this part of the forum, but another to get all defensive over the bikes and then wank on about how much money you've got and how great the one you've got is. Talk about insecurity and needing validation.It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.0

It's pathetic.
I'm also unsure about the truth in that statement as all you ever rode before was a BTwin (not that there's anything wrong with that, but why lie about it?)0 -
Getting the trolls out from under the bridge. One for the irony thread.0

Good to see you don't know the difference between affordability and cost. I could afford to go out and buy an XR4 tomorrow without using any form of credit but the cost isn't justifiable for an off the peg frame mass produced in an Asian factory and feeling the need to masquerade as being Made in Italy. It's over-priced at £10k and that's the case whether you a normal working class club rider or Bill Gates.brundonbianchi said:

If you genuinely like it and think it's worth the price you paid then great but your constant need to mention the bike at every occasion makes it look like either you need reassurance you've done the right thing or you think a rider having success on the same bike you own somehow reflects on your own cycling prowess.2 -
Oh and your "I am considerably richer than you" post makes me think you are a reincarnation of the poster previously known as VTech.

I guess if he can afford his own plane, a vast collection of guns and feck knows what else his Texas alter ego has come up with since I last bothered to look, he can afford only the finest bikes money can buy.0

The Oltre XR4 is heavier and less aero than other similar bikes.Pross said:Oh and your "I am considerably richer than you" post makes me think you are a reincarnation of the poster previously known as VTech.

One of my Bianchis is broken and lives on the turbo. The carbon bits on the other are going grey. Is there a forum where I can get support for this.0
