Holy shit, a titanium Bianchi? This bike has quickly become my main road bike since putting drops on it. There's a lot to love about it. I don't have to worry much about the finish on a raw ti frame. The bike is light and properly stiff thanks to that massive downtube. It's pretty nice to look at, and the geometry is actually pretty comfortable with a low bb and relatively tall stack, which allowed me to slam the stem. Nice.

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.

Current Stage Info:
Finally got some Sram carbon levers, so I put the drops on. I've been riding it for a while without tape lol. It makes a really good road bike.
Also made some sick ass decals for it.

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!
