Cross bikes are allowed to be complete Frankenbikes -- and it's something that's even likely to happen over the course of the life of the bike -- but having such a perfect, rugged, fast machine come together all at once, even just for a while...well, that doesn't come along every day.<BR/><BR/>Even if you don't buy the full bike from Bianchi, consider buying the frameset and buying all new bits for it at the store to hang off of that frame.Cyclist At Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00483064278326210851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16992013.post-1140578191692069072006-02-21T21:16:00.000-06:002006-02-21T21:16:00.000-06:00All of the above!
