I bought a 2011 Bianchi Sempre in June from the original owner after I decided to ramp up my bike game (I'd been casually riding a 1984 Trek 420 for 6 years). My brother, an avid cyclist (he rides a Felt F2), found it, checked it out and recommended it to me. I've put over 1,000 miles on it since July 1 and love it. I'm 6'-2", 250 (was 262 when on July 1) and it's been a great bike for me so far. Granted, I don't have anything comparable to compare it to, but I haven't seen another bike in our group that I would rather ride.
Good luck,
Gary
