It looks ok, not as nice looking as a stock bianchi, but Im not sure of the price differences. They offer a rigid and a headshock version.

Something interesting is the bottom bracket type, it is the type seen on tandems that allows you to adjust chain tension without any dropouts (think of hte front seat on a tandem and how the left crank connects to the back and how they need to tighten that chain but its just on two sprockets)... Im not sure what i think about this... replacing the BB and etc.

I thought a bit ago about how it would be possible to put a BB like that in a SS or a fixie to adjust the chain, i wonder how this will go over.

The bb is an eccentric bb. Pretty basic stuff when you want to run discs. Many, many people swear by it.
