springmielie Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Here's my new Bianchi Sempre Pro before for her maiden voyage at this year's recent Langebaan Lagoon Challenge (lagoon in the background). She's kitted with Ultegra 7800, ITM Pathom seatpost, bars and stem, Selle Italia SLR saddle and Mavic Ksyrium SR wheelset. Unbelievably lekker ride - she made me fall in love with cycling all over again! http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a566/dek87/DSC_04691_zps6bbb4bea.jpg
Cippo Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Still legal..... Where's the rest? What did you buy?
Bianchisti Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Where's the rest? What did you buy? Thought you'd never ask Great ride but have a problem with movement on the seatpost clamp after just 2 outings. Seems the clamp is somehow coming lose where it is attached to the frame.

Seems the clamp is somehow coming lose where it is attached to the frame. Whats the weight and specs ? Seems like you have an EPS mix. I'm jealous in a good way. May you have many happy miles and a huge grin on your face everytime you swing your leg over the top tube.

Cippo Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 My New Bianchi Really nice and the right wheels and components too. That thing under your seat needs to go though. How tall are you and what size frame is that? Your setup looks out of sorts.
TLK Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Thanks Cippo, Ya i agree that the saddle bag is not ideal.I am 180cm and the frame is a 55cm,I just had a setup done with the guys at Cycle fit and the bike feels good

I'm 1.85 and had a 57cm, effectively a large. Just my opinion but I think frame is too small considering your height.

Just my opinion but I think frame is too small considering your height. I see what you mean. That seat post must be very close to it's limits. Seems extended very far. And this is what I don't get with frame sizing. My 55cm Infinito seat post is extended that far and frame was adjudged to be "almost too small" with the bike fit. I'm 178cm.I guess it must be leg length and stuff coming into play. But indeed very lekker bike TLK. Certainly a looker and if it feels good, all's good. Happy cycling!
cruiser Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Hi all, which shop in the Jo'burg area is best for buying a Bianchi. I want one, even if it is a pre-loved one. Thank you.
