LBS fitted the bottle cages. I now have a white FSA seatpost fitted just to keep up the colour theme

Is it a mortal sin to fit shimano M520 spds to my new Bianchi? I'll hav eto swap them over from my Galaxy....I only have one pair of road shoes.
I think I will re tape my bars in white and add a white saddle like the 2009 option of this bike.
I will also ned to hunt down some new lycra kit that matches the celeste/white theme....not sure my current hi vis council vest is going to look all that cool on this.

yeah I was jus tover there looking at that kit as well. very nice but I could buy a new bike with what it would cost to kit me out in all that!
I would like to get just a simple cheap cycle shirt in white with celeste and black but I can live without the Bianchi logo....

keep your shoes and get a set of A520 pedals for the Bianchi and leave the Ms on the Dawes.

I followed a similar route when I got my Bianchi, I did upgrade to SPD-SL's eventually but I'm still unsure about this, shimano on a Italian bikeJohn Ponting said:keep your shoes and get a set of A520 pedals for the Bianchi and leave the Ms on the Dawes.

I missed something here I know I did.

For me they were much sleeker pedals than the M520's and IMO they looked OK on the Bianchi. It also enabled me to use one pair of shoes for different bikes and have the advantages of clipless on different bikes. I did upgrade to SPD-SL eventually (probably a victim of fashion
) but I liked the A520's and fitted them to my sirrus instead of the M520's I had on it.
I think what we are seeing here is the "Bianchi effect" 
:
1. see Bianchi bike - and drool
2. fall inlust love with Bianchi bike
3. convince self that this really is "the one for me"
4. beg/steal/borrow finance (eg re-mortgage house, sell children etc)
5. purchase said bike
6. become obsessed with Bianchi brand
7. find there are others similarly inclined
8. wonder why everyone else doesn't 'get it'
Now, how do I avoid this trap ..........:?:
Envious - me ?? I move between 'I want one of those' and 'I don't give in to all this brand stuff'.
