I just bought a VanDessel "Straight Up X 7" as a commuter. So far I am very pleased with it.
This would be alot like the Bianchi Milano except it has 700c wheels instead of 26" wheels and the VanDessel has an aluminum frame with a steel fork.
It comes from the factory at 24#, before the addition of a rack and fenders and such.

Dan
