Reminds me of the shiv TT.

I like it! Might be an aero brick for all I know but it looks nice!

I usually get annoyed when people say "X bike looks like Y bike," but that top/head tube is straight off of the Shiv.

Needs more celeste.

definitely, would be perfect if celeste/black were swapped

Nice shiv!

I will be at Eurobike in a month and every year I fall for the same trick. I see an interesting new bike in brand booth B, and then as I walk around I see the same bike in booth G and booth R. In booth H and booth V it might be the same frame with a slightly different fork etc. :-(

Can't really blame TT bikes for looking like one another,. the rules of physics don't change.

those seatstays look interesting.

You misunderstood what I said, these bikes are indeed the same, they just feature a different logo. I hold my breath for this one until I see it at Eurobike. And then see some of the cousins. :-)

"Needs more celeste."

And also more Campy!

I can only agree with you, another easy example is the similarity inbetween the plasma 5 and the Cervelo P5. There ain't 1000 perfect aerodynamic shapes. They are bound to find some similarities at some point...

Frame weight is apparently 1250g and comes in four sizes, XS - S - M - L.

@Herbert: there's a chance that Bianchi has exclusive rights over this frame seeing as they did with the D2 Pico Crono for many years, so we may not see it with other branding like some other frames in years gone by.

In the Italian TT bike stakes, I'd still take a Pinarello Bolide ;)

Shame they're selling that one for a cool $13,500 just for the frameset...

ZONE3 - We Last Longer

those seatstays look nothing like what I've seen on he market, so I dont think it's an open mould.
besides, if it uses the rather well reviwed countervail CF, which bianchi has exclusive rights to, then it definitey won't be the same.

Besides, to my knowledge I have not seen Bia nchi ever use open mould stuff. would be rather against the grain to see that.

Just noticed the only traces of cabling are the two short lengths that run the Di2 cables to the derailleurs. Well done.

Thats insulting to the manufacturers who dedicate ample time to producing a new bike. Your gross generalization is...gross.

"One Line Robert"

Please read the complete comments before judging. I said nothing bad about Bianchi or and specific brand, but I just noticed at these shows that many brands where TT or triathlon is not that much of a big importance, they just get stock frames. So I said that I hold my breath until I see more.

A quick read of any press surrounding the bike would tell you that you wont. Seems you should completely read before judging. Never mind Bianchi has never had a history of releasing anything open mold-like.

"One Line Robert"

I think I got your point... Like maybe that really cool Stevens from last year's Eurobike?

Well, every day. http://www.slowtwitch.com/...ke_-_Day_4_3856.html

Fairly coarse fit options



Have estimated some dimensions from measuring pics so will be a few mm out but the pattern will be correct. Don't know how high they're prepared to take the pad spacers so used 50mm max.
Have compared to the P5 as it has a single stem length and expansive fit range.
Much as I've always been a fan (and have sold a lot) of Vision clip ons they are really not a good brand for bike manufacturers to partner with on superbikes - the pad adjustment range is just too limited.
