Bianchi Infinito
Has anyone purchased or test ridden this bike yet??? Thinking of getting one based on geometry and Bianchi rep but will not have a chance to ride one as there is no LBS in my area which keeps one on hand. Would like to know if its living up to its hype...l
Thanks,
John

My local LBS carries the Infinito. Very sharp looking bike. Haven't test road one but I'm considering this one for my next purchase. I'm surprised there aren't any posted reviews.

Nice looking bike. I've got a 928 and really enjoy it.

Received my frame on Thursday built it up Friday and Saturday. Did a short check out Sat. and a 2.5 hour ride Sunday. I have to say I am very impressed by the ride. Very smooth...not quite as smooth as my (now sold) Serotta Ti but stiffer and more lively. It has a nice balance between stiffness and comfort. Not having ridden one prior to purchase I was relieved to see the bike live up to what I had read about it. I am not a sprinter or heavy rider, nor a lightweight (170 lbs) so I don't put a lot of stress on the BB but the couple out of saddle jumps I made the bike responded well and I noticed no flexing at the BB. I live in on the coast of FL so not much climbing here but on the few high rise bridges I would rate the bike at least equal to my FP3 which is to say I think climbing will be no problem for this frame. One area which was better with the Infinito was that it was very easy to hold a line, descending the bridges was fast, straight and no front end shimmy. The bike is responsive without the "twitchiness" (sp????) of a more agressive racing geometry. In short I like this bike a lot....it could become my favorite of all the bikes I've had to date.
I will post some photos later.
