I am thinking about this frame, and would eventually build it up with either ultegra or chorus, but not till later, since i dont have the money now. My LBS has the frame for 1500.

What can I say....it's a Bianchi - should ride well. Seems like a good price for an all carbon rig from the big "B".

If you're going to spend $1500 on a frame, maybe something a little more unique would be better. Or at least something that shows carbon weave instead of carbon composite or matte paint.

Looks like a great frameset. And Chorus is also a great group to put on it. If I hadn't just purchased my Scapin, when Bianchi stepped up and backed Ullrich's team for the TdF I would have purchased a Bianchi (steel, though). They are excellent bikes.

It's lacking something - it needs a little celeste

OK, I posted something here yesterday, but it's gone now.

Anyway, I still like it.

Looks pretty cool to me. It does need some celeste Bianchi logos though. The celeste Vittorios would doll it up a bit too.
