Well, you're a lucky girl. I see why that is your favorite shop. Around here you would only have so much variety in terms of components, everything else is special order. Surprising for a city where cycling is quite developed, but I guess it's a risk for a bike store to carry too much inventory.

I bought the bike across the border since Bianchi doesn't import the Volpe here, so I couldn't go to the store where I bought it (although their 1 year post-sales service and support is still good, they are about 8 hours away).

Yours, Dabac's, and Fietsbob's point about the length of the adjustable stem and the handlebars moving back is a good one, I'll have to consider that too. Although I can see how, if I want a more upright position, the handlebar being slightly back (closer to me) is just a natural consequence. If my torso moves back, that would increase the distance between the torso and the handlebars, resulting in the arms being more stretched. The handlebars moving slightly back as I raise them with the adjustable stem may actually be a good thing.
