I always thought those looked very cool. How is it?
I like the look of the black with celeste fenders. I really would have liked a celeste green Milano, but hey, you take the deals as you get them. Still a pretty bike. Rides nice. Maybe a tad slower than my Bianchi Advantage hybrid, probably due to the 26" wheels with the stock 1.5" Kenda tires. My Advantage Hybrid has a 700c wheel and 32 mm Panaracer Urban Max tires. Really like the Shimano Nexus internal hub. Very smooth. Saddle is just a bit hard for my taste. Might take some getting used to. Gear range is fine for Southeastern Wisconsin. Rolling hills but no real mountains. Really can't see needing more than 8 speeds. Only used 4 on my ride yesterday.

I rode it yesterday, my wife rode it today. Might have been a mistake as I might not get it back.
