YEH! My baby came home tonite! Got some initial pics. I'm going to have to dress her up a bit as she deserves a much nicer bottle cage, bag, etc, but she is still gorgeous to me. Of course I will post her "Glamour Shots" at a later time. :p
Not totally decided on a name either, but I feel it tickling its way to the surface so it should be forthcoming. Isn't she beautiful?:D
she's beauuuutiful :D :D
Hey, I even think the water bottle cage looks great - stainless steel? If so, they are great. Strong and non-marking. I'd keep it.
Beautiful ride. Enjoy her!
Emily
Very nice! Congratulations!! :D
nothin' gets me strokin' like a carbon fiber frame can
my legs can't wait to straddle
that carbon fiber saddle
and ride that baby all day long....
oh, sharing your sensory delights here!!!!!!
She's purty.
I have black steel bottle cages on mine, if you don't want to spring for the carbon ones.
What a beaut!! She looks fast!! Congratulations
Sweet ride!
Congrats!
I've vote for a few black carbon cages on there to sleek it up some. :D
CyclChik - I am becoming obsessed with Bianchi now....Thanks a lot!!! I think it's something about the name - Bianchi...sounds like gnocchi..;)
Question though.....is that a kickstand I see?
That's one gorgeous bike, Chyk! Looks like a sweet ride, too. And hey, I like the stainless steel bottle cage--if that's what it is. I recently put two steel cages on my Veloce--I think they're classier than the aluminum ones. And like Emily said, they're strong and don't mark up your bottles, plus I find that they're slightly more compliant when retrieving and returning the water bottle.
Anyway, enjoy!
She is beautiful! Enjoy many happy rides with her. :)
What a gorgeous bike, Ya'll have me wanting one now, but I have enough bikes. Enjoy her.
BTW, Where do you get those double kickstands? (as I call them) Jennifer:confused:
Thanks all for your kudos!! I'm so in love with this bike, that's its really kind of embarassing when I talk about her at work because no one else there is a rider so they don't get it. At least they save calling me a weirdo for when I'm not in the room. :eek:
Nope, not a kick stand. Its a bike stand that my DH picked up at one of our LBS. I can't seem to find it online to show you gals so I will snap a pic. Its actually pretty nifty.
And DEFINATELY Cielo Su Terra (her OFFICIAL name meaning Heaven on Earth; nickname will be CAT) deserves a carbon bottle holder. She only likes the best, you know (wonder where she gets that from??) :D
I tried not to be lured by the Bianchi - resisted as long as I could, but in the end...... sounds cult'ish doesn't it?
How about these? They are celeste and carbon...
