Wonder Woman Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Hey Edman, I always have a soft spot for Bianchi's (PS: Just don't tell my boss ) Isn't that quite aheavy frame though???
Veloce Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Edman, welcome to the Bianchi owners club where we secretly know we own the best bikes in the world but dont like to flaunt it over aggressively!!!!Whats more, you have graced her with Campy, Tell the women to form orderly queues while they demand to wash your bike and have your babies. Very, very nice bike. Molto Bene!!!!

Li Mu Bai Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Very Nice, may you have many top 20 finishes with it!
Minion Posted June 1, 2008 Author Posted June 1, 2008 Thanks for the comments. As far a frame size goes, I have very long legs and rather short arms (my avatar was chosen for a reason ) so any frame is going to be a compromise between those two extremes. Hence the slightly smaller frame with lots of spacers. The frame spec says it weighs 1.06kg for a 55cm frame. I haven't weighed the bike properly, but I did play around with the kitchen scale and some maths. From that I estimate the bike weighs around 7.8kg fully equipped with the Scirroco wheels. I haven't weighed it yet with the Euruses.
slowpoke Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 very very very nice!!!! i hope you have many safe and happy miles together :-)
The Pirate Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Very nice bike, 1998 was a good year for Bianchi and the Pirate
HANSIE SLIM Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Some history: 1949, 1952, 1998 - the years that Bianchis have won the TdFShame Trek did it 7 years in a row
Minion Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 Shame Trek did it 7 years in a rowI thought those weren't about the bike, though... Edman2008-06-05 07:32:21
MTB MAN Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Some history: 1949' date=' 1952, 1998 - the years that Bianchis have won the TdF Shame Trek did it 7 years in a row[/quote'] Just my thought 7 years with Lance after that Contador 1nce But in this case It's not about the bike but Mr Armstrong Hansie Slim.Any outher bicycle manufacturer could of had Lance and would of done the same seven years in a row..............Just a thought
