It should fit me better. I will be riding it everywhere i have ridden the bianchi. It is also lighter and will have components the Bianchi doesn't have.

I will sell the Bianchi on Ebay or Craig's list.
When I bought the Bianchi, it was sort of a test bike. Will I like road biking? I wasn't sure. I didn't spend a fortune on it, so if I didn't like it, I wouldn't be out so much dough.
Oh, I didn't know you were planning to sell the Bianchi afterwards. I guess you are doing that to economize? I get so nervous having to put my bike in a shop because I don't have another bike to ride when it is out of commission. I worry about something major happening to my Rambouillet because it means I would have SEVERE biking withdrawal until I got it fixed or replaced.

I don't understand how your new bike is going to be lugged steel, have fenders, other components the Bianchi doesn't have, and yet still be lighter weight than the Bianchi- Sounds intriguing- help me understand how this is possible. Is your Bianchi steel as well?
I love that you are getting a really custom fit from a great local builder.
All that bad taste from the "other" experience will be wiped clean away now.

Picking the color scheme is going to be the most FUN part, I imagine!
Two months!- that's a GREAT time frame I think! Lucky girl...
