Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The Valle looks inticing.

As does the 1885/Veloce.

Colors and graphics seem more desirable this year.

The white 928 Carbon T is sweet.

Is it wrong to like Bianchi mountain bikes more than their road bikes?

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".

saw them at interbike, the c2c (coast to coast) models are like trek's pilot or cannondale's synapse series, taller head tubes, shorter top tubes and more relaxed angles than the racing bikes

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
