Wow. It's nice to see all the great looking Bianchis in this thread. After a few more miles I have come to really like the Chorus quick shift FD. What an improvement, very fast one touch shifting. Now I need a celeste coffee mug.

I don't see numbers like that on the post.

Now that's how one builds a proper Bianchi. Great color and component choice IMHO.
Are you going to race it when you are fully recovered? Even if you don't it looks like a great ride.

No racing for me. I just ride for the enjoyment and the exercise. I am going to hit the road today and see if I can ride a bit before the ankle hurts. I may drive to the beach and avoid the big hill I live on. Flat ground should be ok, but going up the hill to my house will put to much pressure on my ankle.

My Bike:
- Velocity Deep V Wheels (very aero and absolutely bullet-proof). BTW, our very own 'Waterrockets' built the wheels for me!
- FSA SLK Carbon Cranks (50/34 170mm)
- PZ Racing "white carbon" (well, not really carbon) stem, bars, and seatpost
- Ultegra front and rear
- Fizik Arione Titanium saddle in sliver/black
- Ok, blue Vredestein Fortezza may not be the best match!
My Bike:
Congrats!!!

PS: Who do you like that bar tape? Does it feel pretty grippy and well cushioned?

It is Bianchi bar tape. Not as much cushioning as I would like, but it looks good and cleans well. I am afraid that a cork tape in silver would get too dirty on the roads I ride on.
