I think it looks like a nice bike, but $5k and only Athena components? Come on.

I thought Kona only had sloping top tubes on their road bikes - even the steel ones - which is not the case with this Bianchi.

The new steel Raleighs are gorgeous in person. I don't know about the International, but I believe the Record Ace (next step down, Ultegra components) retails around $1800 - and I've seen it in an LBS here for $1400. It's a good thing my bike budget is much smaller than that.
