How can I find Bianchi dealers
Bianchi's online find-a-dealer tool is hopelessly non-functional. Anyone know one that works? I want to buy a Bianchi. Next question - are there even any available in the continental US or am I basically screwed until like 2025 or something? Want to buy from a dealer, online scares me.

I looked and while there don't appear to be any dealers in Charlotte, NC, there are dealers in your state. You just have to widen the search area

The dealer finder legit does not work. Type in 90210 and set the radius to max and it will return 0 results. At least that is what happens for me. I was hoping someome may know of a dealer finder that works?
This is the one I am using: https://www.bianchiusa.com/find-a-retailer/results/
edit: well, hell, when I click this link it actually works. ??? I don't understand internets.

In areas were demand for a specific brand of bike is low to non-existent, you might find quite a few of those authorized dealers not stocking any bikes of that brand. Sucks for sure, but I imagine shops have to buy their inventory outright and if they don't find a buyer, they get stuck with inventory getting more out of date.
If you have experience with how different bikes ride and feel, then just take a look at the geometry of the Bianchi, and test fit or ride a similar geometry bike that is in stock. Even if it is a different brand. Then have them order the Bianchi you want.
Won't be 100% true experience because of subtle and not so subtle things that are different, like how many layers of cloth and what type cloth is used in the layup. But if you really want a Bianchi, that might be the risk you'll have to take. Or just hope you can find a dealer that actually has that model and size bike in stock.
However I never got any answers to emails from any dealer far and near when I ask about specific bikes. You might have to phone every one and ask.

Hmmm, I never noticed it was possible to change the radius of the search; maybe that has something to do with the browser I am using.
I've had the same trouble as some of you guys; dealers that don't respond to emails, etc. I eventually bought mine from a shop in Salt Lake City and they were very responsive and they actually had my bike in stock and they shipped it to me (something some other shops don't do, "per Bianchi policy", whatever that means). Turns out it is a 2020 model and I am 100% fine with that.

Some shops won't ship due to restrictions but my brother bought a bike in Oregon and he lives in Alabama and all he needed was a person from Oregon to come in an sign for the bike and they would then ship it. I posted on here or Paceline I forget which, asking someone to go sign and I they would get paid $50 for their trouble. I had no problem finding someone to do this and the embargoed bike was shipped.
Good luck at finding the bike you want.

I purchased a Infinito CV Disc in July. I had a hard time finding one in my size. Ended up finding one about 50 miles away. Love the bike. The dealer has them in stock or can get your size relatively soon.
https://www.adrenalinebikes.com/stor...ategoryID=2121. They ship.
Ask for Jim. Great guy.

OP, not sure if you found what you are looking for but there is an amazing Bianchi dealer here in the Tampa, FL area called Kafe Racer. Gorgeous Shop. Loads of Bianchi. Good Luck.

Given your difficulty trying to spend your money on a Bianchi, can you imaging what a warranty issue would look like? Just sayin.'
