The only legitimate complaint I see is the lack of a flipflop which is even more absurd since bianchi already has a branded flip flop from the pista they could have slapped on possibly even with a cost savings since they wouldn't have to get a completely new hub.
Yeah, I was looking at it from Grant's point of view, not mine. I really didn't get his complaint about BB drop, especially since he already acknowledges that it's the volpe cross/touring frame. Standover is meaningless, and if you're going to ***** about it and yet declare sloping top tubes to be the mark of the beast, you better call AAA about getting your head pulled out of your a*s.
