2010 Bianchi lugged steel "Dolomiti"

Very pretty - but $5000 worth of pretty?!?!?! Damn! And what's with the ugly fork crown - you'd think that for that kind of dough they'd make a decent lugged fork.

Makes me feel like I stole my De Rosa. Hell - I built the Cinelli for >$1500, and the Palo Alto for about $1000. $5000 is just insane - sure glad I know how to build them myself.
