I don't know, but they are fun to play with. I ride my Madone most all the time, but keep the Bianchi has a back-up trainer/rain bike. Lately I've taken to thinking about making it my TT bike. You know spend lots of money for 20K once a month for 8 months. First I added some aero bars, and just this week, bought some Pro-Lite 50mm demo clinchers. I'm not sure how much faster I'll be, but the bike really makes you think you are fast. It still weighs a ton, but hey not bad for my Italian budget TT'er.

And you'll LOOK fast to all of us on the other side of the road, heading in the opposite direction. That's gotta be worth something!

Of course they do. Is this a trick question?
Looks very pretty indeed."My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure."
