Got mine mid January mate but ordered back in October. I'm a newbie cyclist but I think you will be happy when it arrives.

I'm now commuting every day and loving it.

Lead time on them is bad, hope you get yours soon

Sorry I got it a couple of weeks back, been too busy playing with it^_^

Only have one crappy photo taken with my phone

Being only used to a Carrera before this handles much better and it flies going down hills, thankfully the brakes are good too :smile:

Much better riding position than my old bike. My only gripe would be the saddles very hard, but think I'll sort that with better padded tights

Thanks Sean, that looks like a nice bike. I’m currently torn between the Cube Peloton Race and the Bianchi Via Nirone 7. The Cube has the better spec, but the Bianchi (in my opinion) is the ‘beautiful looking’ bike. My c2w scheme is limited to £1k so I’m considering whether its worth paying the extra £200 and upgrading to a Bianchi with a 105 groupset.

Shaun, which bike did you decide to get in the end? I got the Bianchi VN7 and wish I'd got the Cube Peloton due to its 105/Ultegra components.

Still waiting for the window on my c2w scheme to open again, but decided I will go for the Bianchi Impulso 105 10spd compact.

You sound a bit disappointed with your Bianchi VN7, is there any particular reason other than the “on-paper” spec?

I like my VN7. I've recently upgraded both the front/mech and shifters to Ultegra. The wheels have also been upgraded to Fulcrum Racing 5 with Michelin Pro 3 Tyres.

VN7 has a better frame than the Cube as it is triple butted. Cube is double butted I believe.
