‘19 Bianchi Intenso a good bike ?
‘19 Intenso listed locally. Ultegra. I believe it’s Di2. The reason I’m not sure is that it isn’t listed as a Di2….because he had listed the bike a couple months ago. I contacted him about it the day he listed it it….and he then got cold feet about selling it at all.
Not a ton of info about this bike online….so that has me a bit leery.
There is a small bit of damage to the frame(seller says it was “scuffed” during shipping). Does this look cosmetic or structural?
Im very happy with my 2020 Defy….but can’t resist the thought of having Di2. Aside from the Di2…. would the Intenso be a noticeable upgrade from my Defy?

Your Defy will be way more comfortable. The Intenso is basically the old Infinito frame (so it doesn't have the vibration-cancelling CV technology). I'd pass, especially with those gashes (that look pretty deep).

Currently looking for something Defy-ish that I can use as my wet weather and/or winter bike.
mint condition 2015 Defy listed locally but owner wants way too much($1300ish) and takes far too long to reply to emails and/or texts.
Never understood why people list stuff for sale…and then drag their feet when it comes time to actually try and sell the damn item. It’s 2020 people….it only takes a few seconds to reply to a text. Grrrr
