So, after riding something like 10 or so (15? maybe?) new bikes finally came down to two choices. The Litespeed Firenze (http://www.litespeed.com/bikes/firenze.aspx) or the Bianchi 928 Ultegra (http://www.bianchiusa.com/06_928_ultegra.html) and it was a difficult choice. The Litespeed handled a smidgeon better and because the retailer gives a 10% discount to those who are members of VeloGirls, the cost of the Litespeed was nearly 300 below that of the Bianchi.
However, that said, the Bianchi is *sexy* and just beautiful. While initially looking at seeing what each of the shops had, my eyes just got drawn to the Bianchi.
Ultimately, I decided that the ruggedness and the beauty of Titanium drew me a tad more and I am now the proud owner of a new 06 Litespeed Firenze.... and she's purty

Congratulations you lucky thing. I dream of owning a Litespeed one day.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
