Strengths: Nice looking bike. Great ride.Weaknesses: Not enough reinforcement at critical stress points.Bottom Line: I bought this bike from a shop in Illinois. It's been a good bike to ride.... until "The incident"... I've ridden it in differing road conditions. I've shipped it all over the US. Never once did the frame crack. When I was out in Nevada, the bike was exposed to extremes of temperature. A very small crack formed on the fork tube at the bottom of the upright. I noticed it about 4 years ago shortly after I bought the bike. I continued to ride and the crack never got worse. Well the other day, I went across some railroad tracks and I heard a loud "crunch" when I applied my front brake, the bike went forward and the wheel went backwards. So much for the bike. I made it home and after examining the bike found that the small crack had turned into a large crack. Now I'll have to get another bike. Bummer!

Strengths: Nice looking.Weaknesses: The frame and the galactically non-existent customer support.Bottom Line: Fantastic looking frame which conceals a multitude of sins. Do not be deceived! Frame broke after 370 days and Bianchi Europe did not even answer my e-mails. Dealer refunded at his own expense.
Why does Bianchi have a customer service department if it provides no service? Dealer no longer sells Bianchi - failure rate of 70% on frames. Please be wise: there are plenty of frames out there with a longer guarantee and better after-sales service.

Strengths: Builds up into a very light weight bike. Spints well without being too uncomfortable. Love the look. Good durability for me.Weaknesses: None for me.Bottom Line: I'm not into writing reviews, but because this frame has had such a bad wrap I thought I'd give my view. I purchased the frame from ebay brand new as a warranty replacement for another guy. Had my reservation as there appeared to be a high failure rate. I was told that was the early frames and as this EV2 was a later model. Well, having riden exclusively on this frame for almost 4 years, including racing, comuting and training I have no complaints. It's a beautifully made frame which rides as good as it looks. For me it has been great durability for such a light wieght frame.
