Americo Posted February 5, 2015 Share Hi Guys I'm pretty new on the forum and cycling in general. I bought recently a Scott speedster 20 and done so far 1000 km with it,seeing that I love cycling and soon it's going to by my birthday I been thinking to get a new bike,a better and more professional one.Bianchi is on my top list as it's been my dream since when I was little. My budget is R50k can you suggest me a good one and where I could get it in a Cape Town? Is it worth to get it here or should I just wait to go back to Italy and get it there?

Eugene Posted February 6, 2015 Share Can't comment on Italian prices, but if you compare our SA prices to other European countries and consider our exchange rate, we are often cheaper here. Then again Bianchi carries a massive premium in SA, so you might get it cheaper there. Best would be to find an online shop in Italy and compare to our prices. You will find the recomended Bianchi prices here. www.jjcycling.co.za Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMartin Posted February 6, 2015 Share Love my Bianchi. Should be plural, I have two You will get a fine bike for that price. We all have different ideas but I would put most of the money into frame and group set. You can always get better wheels or saddle later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
