Bianchi 1885 Hydrocarbon
What are your guy's thoughts on this bike? My current ride is too big... a mistake that I made based on the judgment of poorly educated bike salesmen trying to make a sale...
I am craving a celeste Bianchi and this seems to fit the bill.. I am also liking the change to campy parts. I have never ridden campy, but what do you think of veloce components?

There is also a Via Narone with Ultegra/105 mix that is enticing...

Either/or.... what are your thoughts on bianchi in general? I have an affinity for specialized bikes, and have never ridden bianchi, but I must say that their bikes are very good looking.. so wondering about functionality....

I think the first one looks nice, I'm sure it's a decent bike. Maybe you could get more for your money somewhere else but it will almost certainly not look as good.
