I purchased an 1885 105 for a crit bike. Got a good deal and keeps my CX1 out of the line of fire. have always believed that Bianchi are priced right for the money. I think there are better more up to date frames with better weights and packages such as Velo Vie, Ridley on clearance but all in and all a solid package. If your looking for comfortable ride for longer time in the saddle I highly suggest a Bianchi with a carbon rear or maybe even steel.
I like my bikes to have a bit of punch when I crank down on the cranks and the 1885 for 30 loops around a block will do the business. Paint is top notch, geometry is relaxed and parts are decent. At 2009 clearance prices around $1100-$1500 its a good deal
