Bargain!

 

[Banjo]

Only a bargain if it is the right size for you.Also a 36 tooth crank and 25 tooth cassette will require good legs on hilly long rides. You may be able to fit a larger cassette or may have iron legs.

 

[RAYMOND]

Yes hes a inch smaller than me so it should be fine

 

[Banjo]

Certainly a nice looking bike.

Via Nirone C2C is Bianchi's entry-level bike aimed at people who have decided to do a sponsored ride and need a new road bike for it. As such it rides very steadily and predictably and is pretty comfortable. If you're new to road cycling it will be perfect for you; since you live in Yorkshire it might be worth swopping that cassette for an 11 - 28 to help on the hills. A 34 tooth small chainring will help even more. Both mods will need specialist tools and a little setting up.

Cheers.. he pulled out the deal the day before delivery so not to be.
Still have my 2 boardman bikes so happy

Pity, it looked nice and a 50/36 would be ideal I suspect less of a jump down between chainrings but still low enough. I used to run a 52/39 with a 12-25 cassette untill I went to the Alps (been too lazy to buy the tools to change back) and it got me up all the climbs I had previously done of good length or gradient.

nice bike for the money..i would have to change the cassette and chainring lol
