YEH! My baby came home tonite! Got some initial pics. I'm going to have to dress her up a bit as she deserves a much nicer bottle cage, bag, etc, but she is still gorgeous to me. Of course I will post her "Glamour Shots" at a later time.
Not totally decided on a name either, but I feel it tickling its way to the surface so it should be forthcoming. Isn't she beautiful?

Hey, I even think the water bottle cage looks great - stainless steel? If so, they are great. Strong and non-marking. I'd keep it.
Beautiful ride. Enjoy her!

She's purty.
I have black steel bottle cages on mine, if you don't want to spring for the carbon ones.

Thanks all for your kudos!! I'm so in love with this bike, that's its really kind of embarassing when I talk about her at work because no one else there is a rider so they don't get it. At least they save calling me a weirdo for when I'm not in the room.
Nope, not a kick stand. Its a bike stand that my DH picked up at one of our LBS. I can't seem to find it online to show you gals so I will snap a pic. Its actually pretty nifty.
And DEFINATELY Cielo Su Terra (her OFFICIAL name meaning Heaven on Earth; nickname will be CAT) deserves a carbon bottle holder. She only likes the best, you know (wonder where she gets that from??)
I tried not to be lured by the Bianchi - resisted as long as I could, but in the end...... sounds cult'ish doesn't it?

Steph - you speak-a my language. That is the perfect bottle holder!!
I am posting a pic of the stand as some of you inquired about it. I am also posting a pic of a Russell Athletic Shirt I found. It matches!!! (Sorry- my DH calls me a dork regularly).
JuJu - I never THOUGHT I was the cult type...... - but sign me up!!
