Opinions? 2009 Bianchi 1885 ALU frameset Celeste $700
Looks like the 2009 did away with the carbon seat stays. On Adrenaline Bikes they say "A Stellar deal! A 3.2 pound frame with carbon fork for under $700." Of course they are selling it so their opinion might be biased.
Here is the Bianchi Page.

I have a stock 2009 Cannondale CAAD9 6 I want to build up with Rival and a set of Cane Creek Volos Sterling Wheels. But I really love how Celeste Bianchis look.

It's hard to find a good Celeste Bianchi. Just keep the CAAD9 as a backup.Did you find the frame locally?

If you have a CAAD9, why would you spend money to downgrade?
