Recently I picked up an 86/87 Strada that I am converting to a fixie.
My next roadie will be a new Bianchi.
Awesome to hear that.
The Strada's an awesome ride; I have an old one as well. It's got the same frame as the Brava.
Anyway, Bianchi's great, you can't go wrong with an Italian bike. You could say that I'm very passionate about Bianchi as well.
