always buy aggressive geometry so you can slowly train your body to get lower and longer, taking a spacer off is like a milestone, very satisfying

Nice Bianchi! Does the Countervail make this bike more comfortable than your previous bike?

Cool! A great choice in my admittedly biased opinion.
Mine came with that same saddle also and I promptly changed it for an all-black one. I didn't want the green to wear off! (maybe it won't, but I didn't want to find out the hard way)

Nice bike! I don't think the Sprint model is offered in the USA.

It should still be available, I think. It's still listed on Bianchi's US website.
My dealer had some 2020 Sprints in stock at least up until late summer, although they were higher-end models, disc brake, e-shift, etc.

Sorry, I misspoke. I was only looking at the Endurance category; the Infinito in size 55 has almost the exact geometry as my current Synapse Carbon in size 54. That's why I was asking JoeArch about his thoughts on the Countervail.
