Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

If it had been in Celeste, I would've paid extra but the faded blue isn't bad.

Does anyone know the design reasons behind the shape of the Bianchi carbon fork? What I'm talking about is probably best seen in this picture. The shape with that sharp vertical edge (where the Bianchi logo is) is quite strange to me.

Bianchi Cross Concept:


As I keep saying, I need to take a new picture of it because it had road tires on it. PLus that picture does no justice.

1998 Campione


2003 EV4


Working on a new-to-me Alloro; I'll probably transfer stuff from EV4 to Alloro.
As much as I like the EV4, it's got three strikes against it: it has a sloping
top tube, that sloping top tube makes getting 24oz bottles in and out difficult
(with the TacX Tao cages), and it's not Celeste.

BlastRadius, what size is that EV4? Do they have a weight limit? Also, how do you like the CF fork and 1" threadless headset on your Campione since you've switched it out? Which bike do you like better?
