2008 Bianchi website up
The Valle looks inticing.

As does the 1885/Veloce.

Colors and graphics seem more desirable this year.

Well, I'm confused. The C2C line has droopy downtubes, the B4P line has "T-cube" technology (whatever that is) and HOC models have 'SL' in the name which I take to mean 'super light'. So what are the supposed differences and what happened to the MSRPs?
This could be a bad year for Bianchi. There are too many too similar models.

Just stick with the Celeste colored ones... that'll narrow the choices
I sucks they got rid of the San Lorenzo with its traditional geometry and full Scandium lightness.

I think T-Cube means T3 from their new "Carbon Tube to Tube Technology".

The 928SL Record does not look right without the Boras...
And wtf is with no more FG Lite? Guess I'll have to get one before they're all gone...

Include or exclude the Celeste ones, either way you'll reduce the number to choose from
