Looking at buying road bike

[Timinator1]

I'm considering buying a Bianchi 130 anniversary road bike with Campagnolo group set. R32500. How is this bike rated with others in its class?

What level Campag ?

That is the Intenso. It has a taller than usual head tube and some or other rear triangle that absorbs vibration. It's designed to be comfortable.

 

If you compare to other similar bikes, most of which will be specced with Shimano 105, it is probably slightly expensive.

 

But you are getting the best of Italian passion with both the frame and parts.

 

Compare it to a Mercedes SLR and a Ferrari. The 2 seater Merc is probably just a fast as a Ferrari, but nothing beats the passion that comes with owning a Ferrari.

 

If it was my money. I would take the Bianchi anyday

Thanks for your response. I have not ridden this bike yet but will do. There are so many different brands - should I consider other equivalents? Do you recommendations.
