When I got my Bianchi bike a while ago it had spd pedals on it which I quickly removed, now I have finally bought a pair of shoes to fit and will be trying them out today a bit later on, this will be my first time riding with them and hopefully it goes well and I dont kill myself falling over, will let you know when I try them to let you know how it feels.

I must say the bike feels very good, although I do think it may be a bit too small for me. The components make it feel like a very nice bike, I just wonder how it will feel over long rides. I think it is an entry level Bianchi, but it has Shimano 105 hubs front and back and the tires are nice as well, and the 8 speed cassette is a Hyperglide and shifts very nice, just wish the frame was 2″ taller. Maybe I swap the components from the Fuji and make the Fuji have the 105s etc. So now I need a much longer ride to see how I feel, I only rode 3 miles Sunday since it was with my two sons and one of them is only 11 and rides a single speed, but my oldest (17) rode my Fuji and he seems like he can go longer distances, will have to see if I can get him to ride with me, I would just hate it if something happened to him though. Until later, have a good day, thanks for reading.

Well went yard saling today and came upon a bike, a 16 speed road bike by Bianchi. Seems like maybe my Vintage Fuji is being replaced by a Vintage Bianchi, just need to give it a good cleaning and then check out all of the components and change out the pedals since they are SPD cleats and I have never ridden with anything but cages. I cannot wait to get this one on the road to see how much different it is than the fuji. …Ok, I have cleaned it up and made it road ready, but seems like it may be too small of a frame for me, will need to log some miles to see how it feels, but seems to ride pretty nice, but my legs feel too far under me right now.
