I have a soft spot for Bianchi bikes but I can't stand gum wall tires. That's just me I guess. One thing that is taking away from this image is that you didn't have the camera level which makes the saddle look like its pointing down when its really not; the whole room is pointing down. Overall I like the bike though.

I've never been a big fan of the Bianchi baby blue color but that aside, nice bike. A few points when taking a picture of your bike, the crank arms should be level and for goodness sake lose that bottle cage. Go with carbon next time.

I’ll admit post is a little high as it had just replaced a mismatched 3t number so is about a cm higher than it should be . But I’m a lanky rower with monkey arms so it won’t change much :-)

Is the cage aluminum or stainless? The aluminum ones always grimed up my water bottles. Stainless I am told doesn't. I'd keep it if it was stainless but if it mucks the bottles...

To be fair I’m using photos on my phone - I’m away from bikes so can’t take appropriate pics as per requests :-)
theres another couple one of which might work... one definitely doesn’t

it is indeed. I run zipp 303s too - I do need to de-logo the stem but it’s tough to do when it costs a bomb!

no experience of Times but the Bianchi rides very well- but I’ve found paint to be delicate and getting the rear wheel set consistently in the dropouts is tough ...
