I very seldom post here but I have a question for you rodies. Has anyone here road the Bianchi 928 Carbon/Veloce? I have always wanted a Bianchi since I was about 10yrs old and now I think I am going to upgrade from my OCR to the 928. I will be testing one this Wed. but was looking for some imput on what I might expect from this machine.
How is the Campy groupo compared to the Shimano? I have never ridden for any length of time with Campy components. All my bikes have had Shimano DuraAce on my road bikes and SRAM on the dirt. I realize that there are those that swear by one or the other but I would like some info other then Camp is better or vice versa. Do you find that, when both are properly adjusted, that one is smoother and crisper then the other? Also, does one need adjusting more then the other?

Campy the roadies SRAM. Veloce is about the same level as 105. The biggest difference is is how things shift. Like SRAM you can do multipule shifts in both directions. I perfer the feel of Campy shifters in my hands and they look cleaner on the bike as both the brake and shift cables run under the tape, the shimano only runs the brake under the tape with the shift cable out in the air.
Note both do what they are made for.
