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

Wilier Mortirolo or Bianchi Infinito?

I'm so fickle...

I thought I loved my Wilier Mortirolo (2010 Veloce model) until I saw a Bianchi Infinito (in celeste and white) in the flesh, this morning. Photographs do not do the Bianchi justice... the shape of the 'tubing' is gorgeous, especially the seat tubes.

So I have a dilemma - sell the Wilier (I got it cheap, so I won't lose anything) and buy the Bianchi (available at 20% discount), or just put the Bianchi out of my mind.

The Wilier is my first Wilier and I've never had a Bianchi, so I'd be curious as to what people who know more about both brands would do?

C'mon, think ahead! Which bike will you want after you've had the Bianchi for two weeks?

Wednesday - update:

Guess what I did today. Bought the Bianchi (Athena/Celeste/25% discount)...

Keeping the Wilier - for now anyway - they just look soooooo nice together.

Now excuse me, I have to get some work done...
