Thanks!
Thank you all for your replies
The saddle has to go (it's narrower than my sit bones even at its widest part), and I am still getting used to the Look-type clipless, but overall I love it and am completely happy
I am kind of debating having some cheater brakes (I guess they call them cross brakes now) installed also, but it's negotiable, since the Campy reach is so good. Any opinions on that?
Mimi--it's the 49 cm size. I rode the 44 also, but it was too small. The 49 feels just right

Wow--hot stuff! I love that Bianchi celeste color, too. Congrats, and I hope you'll have miles and miles of fun together.

I just got a new bike also. My first rode bike! I got a LeMond - Reno, women's bike. Now I won't have to ride my old cross bike in our century rides this year! Yea!

That's My bike too!
I got my 2005 Veloce last spring. I had to order her and pay extra because I wanted the the Celest color. The older modle Veloce they had in stock were on sale in blue or red if I remember. Congratulations on getting such a great deal! I love the triple and use all 30 of those gears on the hills. You are right about the seat. It had to go! She is a much better bike than I am a rider, but with her help I am improving! I like everything about my Bianchi. I am sure you will too. I wish you many happy and safe miles.
