Speed, stability, beauty

Cost, external battery position

I loved my Infinito so much and contemplating the shortness of life, I decided to buy the best Bianchi had to offer. Mine has Super Record EPS, which is really something. The shifts are like magic. This bike cuts through the wind, and nearly flies when you are going downhill or have the wind at your back. I think I had a slight sense of vibration once on a less than smooth road going downhill at 45 mph, but other than that---smoooth. The EPS system is a little touchy and takes an experienced shop to make sure it is adjusted properly or a very handy rider (not me). I am grateful for the former. I have been riding it since March. Except for time off for injuries and to ride other bikes, we've been averaging 30-40 miles per day together. I have taken it on the first day of RAGBRAI and back which was just under a hundred, and neither of us were worse for the distance. I have no regrets about the purchase and this is the number one bike in my stable.
