I have three Bianchi’s, two of them in celeste color but as you can see there is a difference in color. Im leaning more towards the Sprint that i like to most but let me hear.
This is me Bianchi Sprint 2020 Full carbon (7.8kg) with white decals:
- Progress AIR Disc TR wheels (1350gr), profile: 38mm, external width 28mm, and internal width 21mm).
- SRAM Force with power meter(48/35 y 10/33).
- SRAM Force 160mm cranks with Wahoo SpeedPlays.
- Progress PG-247 cockpit 36cmx100mm.
- Progres PG-601 seatpost.
- Ryet 3D carbon saddle.
- Continental GP5000 30".
- GALFER discs.
Opinions?
I have ridden a Bianchi LX 1986 (I think) for the last 20 years. Daily commuting. She is an absolute tank, and I'll probably ride her as my daily junker in my high theft city until the frame cracks on me some time in 2040.
But I would like something to ride for more long distance events, something that preferably weighs less, is more modern, climbs better, and remains ergonomic for a tall human (6'2).
I am hoping to not spend an incredible amount on this, preferably spending less than $2k. I am unsure how to go about achieving this goal or what bikes are best for this range. I would really appreciate suggestions!
Thought I'd share my 2015 Infinito CV that I'm very much still enjoying. This bike was developed for Lars Boom and his Belkin team to ride the cobblestone classics of that era. It takes 28mm tyres comfortably and I'm sure you'd get a 30mm on the front. The race pedigree of this frame is unmissable, it is light, snappy, responsive and smashes through uneven road surface unlike other rim brake bikes of this generation, you can tuly feel the effect of the countervail technology.
I'm 185cm and run quite an aggressive fit on this race bike so have a 55cm frame and 120mm stem. The wheels are debaged Campag Zonda C17s.
My new bianchi eros 2002, put new bar tape, a new saddle, and a back rack on it. Instantly fell in love
I have been a fiercely loyal customer of this brand for a long time. However, I’ve recently learned about a recurring, historical pattern of structural and mechanical failures involving their forks—issues that have even led to serious legal battles. Given this track record, my confidence in their product safety and reliability has been deeply shaken.
Are Bianchi forks good. How many of you had issues.

Im looking to purchase an aliexpress one piece handlebar with 80-90mm reach/110-120 stem length. Any suggestions? Please comment with photos if you have one installed on your Bianchi. 👉🏻☮️
New year new Bianchi. Last year got the Impulso all road grx 400 and have had fun learning on it and upgrading. This year saw the Arcadex pop up on sale and I couldn't pass it up. Loving it so far. Just swapped the bars to Ritchey superlogic venturemax max and added left side sram power meter. Bike Has handled local socal trails like Bonelli, Claremont wilderness, Fullerton loop well and the busted ass pavement like at Griffith and LA river.
Just bought this 2019 bianchi sprint with Shimano Ultegra R8000 groupset and HED RC5 carbon rims for $2000. Was this a good buy?
Very excited about the new ride. Swapped wheels to my existing set as I’ll use the stock wheels on my gravel bike. Could not pass up the deal, $2,600 USD brand new. Headed out for first ride in the morning!
TOSEEK integrated carbon handlebars ($107). 38cm wide and 80cm stem length to mirror my previous dialed in setup. I had to cut about a 1/8 inch off the steering tube to fit these but the rise on these seemed to make up for it compared to my previous setup. Replaced all the brake hoses while I was at it. Recently put on these new tires too, it’s feeling like a brand new bike.
Im getting a deal for CAD$6700/-
Should I go for it? Also is the geometry agressive??
Hi! I’m looking to buy a Bianchi this week, and I’m trying to decide between models.
I found this shop that has old stock or the Bianchi Infinito CV Disc 105 Di2 T30 Defy selling at a really good price of 2240 GBP - https://www.devercycles.co.uk/bikes/road-bikes/bianchi-infinito-cv-disc-105-di2-t30-defy-type-endurance-road-bike-celeste\_\_71191
On the other hand, I found the new Bianchi Infinito 105 | 8X | 2026 (not Di2) for 2450 GBP - https://www.northernride.com/Bianchi-Infinito-105-Mech-8X-p/bianchi-infinito-105-8x.htm
My thoughts: the spec for the 2023 model is better, but the looks of the 2026 is much better and arguably newer tech.
What do you think is the right choice? Which one would you pick? If you have experience with either of them, I would appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks!
Does Bianchi have a crash policy
Just bought a Bianchi Infinito CV 2015 (130th Anniversary) for 1300$.
Here’s are the specs:
Brand: Bianchi
Model: Infinito CV
Year: 2015
Frame: Full carbon with Bianchi Countervail (CV) vibration-damping technology
Groupset: Shimano Ultegra 6800 2×11 mechanical
Brakes: Ultegra rim brakes
Wheels on this particular bike: Upgraded Reynolds carbon wheels
Existing upgrades (in my opinion, correct me if I’m wrong) are:
Reynolds deep-section carbon wheelset — major upgrade from the stock Fulcrum Racing 5 alloy wheels
Oval Concepts 913 carbon stem (80mm) — replaced stock Bianchi/Reparto Corse stem
Selle San Marco saddle — replaced stock Fizik saddle
Continental tyres — replaced stock Vittoria tyres
Shimano 105 CS-5800 11-speed cassette — replacement for original Ultegra cassette (technically a slight downgrade, but fully compatible)
Still original/high-spec: Countervail carbon frame & fork, Shimano Ultegra 6800 2×11 drivetrain/crank and Ultegra rim brakes.
Seller is asking 290eur (with delivery); will be my first collector bike. What are your thoughts?
