i'm not too concerned with the shipping from this one place, it's like $70 for worldwide express, which includes the brokerage and the deals are real good ... i expect that part to be pretty hastle free

i'm definitely not stuck on bianchi, i just really like the bianchi frames/style and the groups this place has are good deals

i'll be checking out local stuff regardless and i'm definitely concidering a cross bike aswell, since it's more versatile ... i'm still in the early stages of shopping but i'd like to get something ordered in the next week or two
