Just thought I'd drop in. Is this the bike you test-rode? The handlebars are actually set at a pretty good height on this one and the A1 24. The other Allez's have the handlebars even lower.
I can't believe Bianchi doesn't have a dealer near Atlanta. That'
s just crazy.
So I was thinking, alot of what makes a roadbike faster and more efficient is the skinny, high pressure tires. I think you'd be amazed at the difference that putting some skinny tires on your current bike would make. And just out of curiousity how is the bike you're riding now set up? Are the handlebars set higher than the seat? Is the hybrid you said you tested the Sirrus that you refer to in your original post?
Sorry for all the questions.
