Awesome Bike!! I remember when my older brother was looking at bikes. I think he checked out a Bianchi at one point. This was back in the 70's and I think they just had the lime green color. Now at least there are choices
I had a ten year lay off until two years ago. I pulled out my 70's Fugi and started riding it. Then I found out about today's techology and ended up with a Look 555 and Ultegra components. I thought I died and went to heaven. Perhaps you feel the same way.
Congratulations again. May you have many happy miles togerther!

Thanks Red Rock
Yes, I tried to ride my old Vitus and it was terrible. I have been riding a mountain Bike around town, but it's not the same.
The new technology really does make a difference!! I need all the advantage I can get.

That is a beautiful Bianchi. I've been riding a Bianchi for about three years now and just love mine. I hope you have many happy and safe miles together.

What a beauty! I think cadence is somewhat personal. My cadence is not working, but I know I will get very different feeling and result from staying where my husband rides. And Lance Armstrong's was much different than Jan Ullrich. You get the idea. I think 80-90 is where my husband thinks mine should be.

Bianchis are celeste.
That looks like a lovely bike though, I hope you have a lot of fun with it.

Shame on you--
CELESTE GREEN, which is gorgeous!!! I own an Eros Donna, in a lovely bleached Celeste.
For a name, Francesca is nice. You can call her Frankie.

Harley, if the brake levers are a big reach, try the Specialized Slim Shims!
