Holy shit, a titanium Bianchi? The geometry turned out to be disappointingly mellow, very low BB, tall stack, so my dreams of a crazy slammed fixie foo style road bike are out the window. And the fork only fits a 25mm tire. Other than that, I'm super excited about all the possibilities this bike holds. Not sure if it'll keep the flat bars or if I'll go drops on this. Or maybe I'll sell it, but I think I'd regret that.

More Info:
I originally had some 808 tubulars I planned to put on this bike, but Zipp took them back because of a recalled front hub in exchange for some new ones, so I guess I can't complain. Just wish I could've seen them on the bike at least once.

Tbh with the low bb and tall stack this could make for a really comfortable road setup, but still yk... Slammed. Especially since it's titanium. I'd try to get some 303 clinchera for this and put on a nice modern group on it. Looks mint man, nice!

And perhabs a straight blade fork. Straight blade 1" threadless would be really cool

Funny you say that, because that's exactly the conclusion I've come to. I definitely agree on the fork, I'm at least searching for one with more tire clearance for now. Carbon wheels of some sort soon. Thanks!
