hmmm ... steel bike, funky paint job (not girly), AND italian (thought I would add that since you are talking Bianchi) ... I would vote for:

Hey, Pooks, this bike is a nifty option in steel. It comes in a frameset (like Soma) rather than a full bike (like Aurora or Surly Long Haul Trucker) but I've seen built-up ones for sale at bike shops pretty reasonably priced.

that bike looks edible.
the Pegoretti responsorium is over the top IMHO. However, wouldn't it be fun to PAINT a bike frame like that? Why should Dario P. have all the fun? Maybe one of these days I'll get a bike frame and paint it up my own way and then let a bike shop put the top coats on for protection.

Pooks - I spent an hour today wandering around my LBS while Flossie was getting her compact double.
They have a gorgeous elegant Salsa Casaroll fitted up to be a tourer for $1200. They said that it does come as a frameset, and it can be fitted out however you like (even a single speed!) for as much or as little $$ as suits you.
I also looked at a Kona Sutra, a steel tourer, comes as a complete bike. It has disc brakes. It is a tough looking and sturdily built beast of a bike. Costs about $1200 also. The one I looked at was a 2006, and on sale. http://www.konaworld.com/bikes/2006/sutra.htmLast edited by KnottedYet; 04-16-2007 at 03:55 PM.
