A Bianchi Via Nirone 7 Dama Bianca. It was love at first sight
This is my first real road bike and I absolutely love it!!! I had to have a Celeste Bianchi since the first time I saw one. It has full Sora components and a compact double. I wanted a bike with at least 105 but, it was not offered in celeste and I knew I would not be happy in the long run. I do plan to upgrade parts as needed though.
Even though I own a Trek 520 touring bike (most road like bicycle I own), I had to have the guys show me how to shift and release the brakes before I left the LBS, when I took her home Saturday. This is all new to me. This bike actually fits me better than the Trek.
I can not believe how light and fast this bike is. I love going fastI took her to the local park this weekend to get the feel for shifting and basically "get to klnow my new bike". I have mountain clipless pedals on it as advised by my LBS. I already had shoes and since I plan to do a lot of centuries, he suggested mountain bike pedals for the walkability. I have not clipped in yet since i am just learning and wanted to get the feel for a new bike first.
I plan to use this bike on the Zoo-de-Mack in two weeks and do my first century this Fall.
First ride at the park...
Even the head badge is sexy...IMO
