I did it! I bought a road bike... after reading a bunch of posts here and elsewhere, I bought a Bianchi eros donna! I'm so excited! Now, I just hope I don't get screwed by the guy I bought it from on ebay...

Once you go Bianchi, you'll never go back! Seriously, you'll be hooked on Italian heritage!
For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

I have an '06 Eros Donna. I was so pleased w/that bike that I had planned to get an '07 model but waited too long (sold out). Instead, I ended up w/my Seven. ENJOY your bella Italian--I love my Bianchi!!!

did I do it right? I tried attaching it as a jpg file... I think he just took the picture from the Bianchi web page though... it just looks so similar.

yup (so he says) 2006 model. It arrives Thursday... I feel like a little kid! I'm SO excited!
So, it comes with wellgo clipless pedals, which work with the shimano SPD cleat (or whatever) - the mtn bike shoe kind. Anyway, I was calling around today about shoes and found some I want to go check out. My mtn bike had platform pedals; thus I'm a TOTAL newbe with the whole clipless pedal thing. The guy at the store said sometimes a new bike (if it comes with clipless pedals) will also come with cleat as well. Does anyone know anything about that? I will find out soon enough... I'll probably go get shoes tonight, but I wanted to have everything all ready to go ride when I get it (I know, I know - I'll have to put it together...)
Okay as I reread that, it sounds um... clear as mud. Hopefully someone can make sense of what I'm trying to ask here and clear it up for me

My new bike came with clipless pedals (a Trek Pilot) and the cleat thing you screw into your shoe came with the pedals.
The bike shop guys screwed them into my beginner biking shoes (the kind that you can use without cleats, or take out a rubber piece and use with cleats) and got me started.
The bike shop guy told me that getting the shoe part cleats with the pedal was pretty much standard. But maybe that has to do with brand or something?
Good luck! Your new bike's beautiful!
