Congratulations, Tech Ninja! Nice bike.
Is it true that it has a 'quick release' seatpost clamp? I would replace that with a fixed one as soon as you have found your optimum saddle position. IMHO, it looks better, weighs less and is less thief-friendly.

yup, there is a quick release on it. was planning on changing that, as well as the pedals and the stem. thanks for the suggestion.
and thanks everyone for the kind words. i've been aching to ride her, but my riding partners are all on mt bikes, so i ride my mt bike w/them. i do know one person who rides road, a bianchi as well, same year but the steel counterpart of mine, but i'll have to work my way up to ride w/him on his 40+ mile rides.

btw, supergo's website says that they won't do websales for the bianchis, but if you call them up, they will make an exception since they're wanting to clear out their stock.
