If you unload the Moto and get the Bianchi and it does not jive with your body you are going to be miserable and disgusted with yourself. Good luck and enjoy.
Yes, rim brakes on the Moto and disk brakes are one of the reasons I am considering an upgrade. I do not have experience with disc but from what I can tell they perform better than rim brakes.
you are right on about comfort. I would hate to have the Bianchi be any less comfortable than the Motobecane. I am considering the Bianchi Infinito XE Disc Ultergra. Time to go to the LBS and do some testing.
thx
