Bianchi lost me as a new bike owner when they changed there warranty policy from LIFETIME to 2 years, that's kind of loosing confidence in your own brand.
For a company that been around over 100+ years, that's very surprising. I love there bikes and the Celeste colors is so awesome, but my hard earned purchase of a lightweight road bike can't take the risk of a frame cracking with only a 2 year warranty.
