Bianchi Dama Bianca She

[Bron]

I have the 2006 Dama Bianca, they only did one version last year, the three different Dama Biancas are new for 2007, so I don´t think that many people will have a "She" yet. Anyway, I´m very happy with mine - I can´t say that it feels harsher than my old steel-framed Peugeot, so maybe I´m just not that sensitive. I have the 46cm fram with 700cc wheels, so there is a bit of toe-overlap but it hasn´t been a problem. Hmm, what else can I say? I like the saddle that came with it, the campy brake levers fit my hands nicely, the narrow handlebars are just right and it´s a beautiful colour. I might upgrade the brakes at some point, nothing really wrong with the bianchi ones, I just feel they could maybe be a little better.
The bianchi steel bikes are not sold in Europe, so I couldn´t compare steel and aluminium versions.

There´s a picture of us on the TE Bianchista page (thanks mimitabby).

Bad Mimi, I already have two custom steel bikes (Lunas--one road & one cross)! When I retire (6 February 2019), I'll treat myself to a custom Italian steel frame.

You are right, I will go with the steel frame Eros Donna, if my husband ends up getting me the bike.

My goal is to replace all but my rain/beater bike with steel or titanium frame/campy component rides. I put in a lot of miles, so I more than get the return on the investment. I wish the Terry Fast Woman fit me better--it's got a racing geometry and the TT is about a half inch too long for me.
