[Closed] Bianchi

I had a via naroni and it was gorgeous and looked much more expensive than the £800 it cost. Looks aside they are poor value for money compared with many other brands especially if you're a mountain biker at heart and a road bike is just a tool.

It's not just you. They do have a certain something.

Oh yes if your just looking at the cost then there are bikes that have much better kit bolted to them for the same cost.

It was a Via Nirone that caught my eye. For the money you could get a carbon planet x pro carbon with 11spd ultrega. I still prefer the Bianchi.

Gratuitous pic time, here's mine, currently a bit less standard than this pic having replaced bars, stem and saddle.

Bought in the sales with little experience of what I was buying. It had narrow bars, a long stem, cheap heavy forks and minimal tyre clearance. After "some" upgrades it became a joyous bike to ride. Stripped for parts on a custom build but I'll always have fond memories.
