Judging from the frame, that appears to be the same frame as used for the Axis cross bike. Bianchi probably had surplus Axis frames and were looking for a way to liquidate their inventory of those frames. They did this with their Reparto Corse SL3 road bike frames by using them for '05 and '06 Giros and San Mateos. I got a screaming deal on a '05 Giro. Ergo, this might mean NOS '05 and '06 Axis bikes could be had for cheap. Hopefully.

(edit) Furthermore, their '07 Axis has celeste trim, a telltale sign that Bianchi wants to move their inventory of that particular frameset.

(edit 2) Considering the Axis can be had for a couple hundred more with a vastly more versatile setup, I think the Roger is too expensive.
