My LBS, a Bianchi dealer, has a 2009 Dolomiti on is wall that I checked out when it first appeared. The lugs looked as if they were an afterthought -- the headtube lugs, in particular, appeared to be simply wrapped around the tubing or pressed on, not brazed. There were also slight gaps between the tubing and the lugs with no sign of hand craftmanship. I was not impressed.

I'll take the craftmanship of my 1980 Super Corsa any day of the week (paints chips and all):
