The bike hunt ended this weekend while we were up in Colorado Springs visiting the ILs. I am the proud new owner of a fabulous Bianchi road bikeI lucked out and they had a 2005 Veloce on the floor in my size (the 2006 doesn't have a triple, but the 2005 does), and it felt awesome when I test rode it. The Campy brakes/shifters are so nice--they fit my little hands! Also, it's that great Celeste color
I am totally in love
I got it for $800 under list--if anyone is reasonably near to CoSpr, I highly recommend Bicycle Village--the prices were awesome and the service was great. I think they have a couple other locations in Colorado also. I will try to post a photo here--we'll see if it works.

Wow, what a gorgeous bike! I would _die_ without a triple.
