Hi everyone,
I posted this on the Bianchi forum as well - hoping to find some direction - and so I am trying here too.
Does anyone have (or know where to find) the Bianchi Componenti white carbon crankset that came with the first generation Bianchi L'Una?
I have called most Bianchi dealers in several different states, and no one had that crankset. The few places that still had a L'Una left in stock only had the frameset, or one of the 2005/2006 L'Una that came with the regular Campy Record black carbon crankset.
If anyone has a suggestion on where to find one (even a used one as long as it's 170mm), please let me know.
Thank you all!

I get my Bianchi fix two places -- the store on BianchiUSA, and the kind folks at Glory Cycles.

Hey, have you actually been able to get the BianchiUSA store to work? I was trying to buy Celeste touch up paint last year. I tried to purchase it through the online store and kept running into errors and bugs in the registration and checkout process (like, there would be a step in which you had to select a state or country, but there would be no drop-down menu or field to enter information, then if you clicked continue, it would kick you back to that page). I am (as my credit cards will attest :() not new at shopping online and I could not check out. So I called them and when I finally got a person, I gave them my credit card info and placed an order for tape and touch-up paint, and it never came (I didn't get charged either, but I was not impressed).

I asked LBS if they could help me get some paint and they sort of rolled their eyes and told me that customers usually had better luck dealing with Bianchi than shops did...:eek:

Hi, I've tried the Bianchi online but that crankset was no longer available - and same with Glory, they do not have L'Una and L'Una parts anymore...
:(
The online store is weird at times, but if I remember correctly I made it to buy something last year. It's a little hard if you have questions because they take a really long time to answer email. Last time I wanted to ask something I decided to take a shortcut and told someone in Italy to call Bianchi there and get the answer for me!
:D
