2009 Bianchi Via Nirone 7

[Colonel T]

So yesterday I go to pick up a replacement frame for a dented one, and Bianchi decided to send a whole new bike in it's place. I spotted this one, and said to the guy, "damn that is a sexy bianchi" and He replied Dude "that's your bike!" I wanted to jump like those people on the old toyota commercials. I didn't expect this much of a change. So let me introduce you to my 2009 Bianchi Via Nirone 7. Whaddaya think? It's running Ultegra shifters/Rear Derailleur, and 105 Front Der/105 calipers. They also upgraded to the wheels to the AKSIUM Race ones. The whole setup is a big change from the previous year. I was happiest with the color, and of course the 105 brakes in the place of the RCs that came on the '08.

Yep, dead sexy alright, grrrrrr.

How's it ride?

Cool, apparently you need to dent a frame about once a year, that sounds like a nice recycling program. :D

The 08 bike came with a dent in it, and I pointed that out... So they sent this one. Had I dented it myself... I doubt they would have cared.

Bianchi is funny like this. At the shop I work at we had a entrylevel one sold to a gentleman and we noticed a crack in the headtube. So they sent a new bike that was ten times nicer. Its almost if they think that when you do break that bike you will have to either upgrade on that or get the same level. Making them money in the end.
