New Bianchi!!!

Picked up my new Bianchi Veloce today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only had time to do a quick 5 miles before heading out for class, but she is one sweet ride. Can't wait till tomorrow when I'll have more time to spend with her. Maybe then she'll tell me what her name is. Hmmm...

Lucky you!
How exciting! I bought an Eros Donna in July but would have rather had the Veloce--primarily for the wheels and (almost) complete Veloce groupset. Did yours come with a compact crank? I'm interesting in your opinion on that....
Happy riding. I look forward to a full report once you have some miles on it.

I was at a race this past weekend and one of the girls in the womens crit had one. It was a pretty bike, I think she either placed first or 2nd on it too b/c they already overlapped the group 1 1/2 times . Jennifer

Hey, Congratulations!
Can't wait to see pics.
Did you get the '05 with the triple or did you opt for an '06 with the compact? I recall that the '05 was a deal you couldn't refuse....

Right, Regina--got the 2005, which comes with a triple. Apparently the compact didn't come along until the '06 model, but I'm VERY HAPPY with the deal I got. My LBS rocks!

She's Bianchi "Celeste"--that's what Bianchi calls that green-blue color. It's too gorgeous for words. I've wanted a celeste Bianchi for years.

Congratulations
I hope you enjoy your Veloce as much as I have mine. She is a really great bike, now if mine just had an engine worthy of her! I couldn't believe how much lighter and faster she is than my mountian bike. Our bikes are twins. Mine is also a '05 celeste. I got her a year ago April and had to order her so I didn't get a bargin on her like you did, but I really wanted that beautiful color and there were none in stock. I believe Lise from Chicago also has the same bike.

She will speak to you and tell you her name as soon as she decides. Fortunately Black Beauty told me right away.
