That bike sells for 1500 USD here in the states. Even with the euro being a little higher I still think that's a good price. Get the bike :D

800 quid is about $1450 at the moment but presumably that includes VAT (the UK equivalent of sales tax @17.5%).

Yes! Now, let me go back and read your post and the replies. :p

I should work for Bianchi. Every time anyone asks, "Should I buy the Bianchi?" I'm like a guy trying to separate his prom date from her panties. Buy it!

Seriously, that's a good deal. And the French Alps are waiting. Sheesh, life isn't fair.

isn't the point of a deposit that it ISN'T refundable?

I just wanted to point out that I love the word "quid." I wish I could use it more often.

Congrats, Ben! I, too, ride an 03 Bianchi - it's a Veloce, celeste, and looks just like yours. You made the right choice. Bianchi makes awesome bikes. Welcome to the Celeste Army.
