So, did you buy one then @Phyllosc?
That's a good compromise. It's still got the Bianchi-ness, without the bankruptcy,A very good question! I have set myself a kind of target. I need to keep losing weight up until March and if I do them I'll buy. So what an incentive eh!? Despite the sound advice of buying on line, my plan is to go over to Elmy Cycles in Ipswich and talk to them - they are a Bianchi dealer. Right now, and down to the advice given here, I'm leaning towards the Sempre Pro
My suggestion to buy online was because you appeared to be all but decided without advice from your LBS. The saving I got is not there right now and, if you need further advice and test rides, it might be better for you to go in store as you say.A very good question! I have set myself a kind of target.

I would not suggest seeking advice and test rides and then buying elsewhere. That's simply not the way to do it
I have an Ultegra equipped Sempre Pro.
Cue the sacrilegious comments about running Shimano on a Bianchi...
Wasn't an option in August as stock was already tight. The Ultegra deal was way better than the rest, hence my purchase.Heathen.
Should have got SRAM Red.
