Another Bike?

Oh my, I did it again. I found out that Bianchi's 06 Eros Donna comes in 50cm, so I ventured out in the cold today to get one. Last summer, I test rode the largest Donna they made (47cm, I think) and while I loved it, the bike was a tad too small for me. Anyway, the LBS that deals in Bianchis didn't have any in stock but is ordering me one. I even got a 5% discount since I was willing to pay for it today :-). My new beauty should arrive in 7-10 days, if the distributor has them in stock. The color is amazing---the trademark Bianchi celeste green but more of a muted shade.

I'll write a review, after she arrives and I can log some miles on her. I might wait until we get some decent weather, though. There's stilllsome sand/salt on the roads here from our last snow, and I probably will be babying this one for awhile. [does anyone else do this, too? the conditions have to be perfect for you to ride your 'good' bike?]

Very pretty! I like the wheelset. Is the seatpost carbon? I like the bleached Celeste color.

Hey, I just got a 50 Eros Donna a few weeks ago. It's a great ride! And it sure is pretty. I believe the seatpost is aluminum.

I live in Seattle, and will be riding this bike in rain, sun, and anything in between--but then we don't have a lot of road salt to contend with in this region.
