Bianchi MegaSet Did Upgrades Make it Fast!? 

Oh man, the celeste colour of Bianchi is just gorgeous. Nothing else comes close.

Every time I watch,I learn. Thanks

Love those two Bianchi bikes and what you've done with them!

Another great video Luis 👍

Wow, that's a huge nail. I get way more flats in FL than back home. I've had none here and six in FL. Love your analysis of the riding feel. So insightful.

Great analysis. All bikes are different. Either objectively or subjectively. Love that you care so much.

Good Video I still have not have a chance to ride with you and Weston with my bike Bianchi Pinlla ..

I think the twitchy feeling has to do with the rake of the fork. Usually race bikes feel twitchy at slow speeds but settle at high speeds since it’s designed to handle at high speeds

I read an interesting article somewhere awhile back by Lennard Zinn. In order for a bike to feel nimble and responsive to handlebar inputs, the designers have to build instability into the front end geometry. That slight instability lends itself to feel a bit twitchy sometimes, but that is the side affect of being able to have a bike that's able to lean over and go fast in the corners. It was a concept that absolutely blew my mind when I first read it! Is the new fork a different rake than the original?

Terrible luck with that flat. If I may make a suggestion, perhaps you should make the move to tubeless tires? I've ridden them for the last 10 years and the only time I've had a flat was a nail as well. All the other smaller punctures from thorns and the like get plugged via the sealant. I pulled the nail out and used a dynaplug patch which only takes a few seconds. Reinflated and off I went. Although, a dynaplug would probably work on a tubular tire as well. Addendum: Perhaps a straight legged steel fork with a 43-44 rake measurement would solve the slow speed twitchy issue. Waterford/Gunnar make beautiful straight legged forks and I've head them send one to me unpainted so I could have it powder coated. Straight legged forks with a classic steel frames are aesthetic perfection and perform beautifully.

I had a similar nail incident...but the nail went through an ambrosio rim also..After watching this,you got me wanting a steel frame Bianchi....Can you recommend which to look out for?

Do you really run tubular tires?! Amazing - how does it work when you get a flat on the road since the tires are glued on?

One bike seems to have a carbon seatpost with a setback, while the other has an alloy zero setback seatpost. Could that explain some of the difference?

It’s for sale now

do you miss the CAAD 10?

OOOHHHH nooo... that sucks about the nail.
