First Bianchi – in love!

Bianchi Oltre XR3 rim brake

New frame (from 2018) and built with Shimano Ultegra R8000 mechanical.

Vision Team 35 for now, upgrade coming from Santa

1st 60 klm ride on it yesterday – probably the best bike I’ve ridden.

Tyre clearance was good (was a concern when I bought it) however on these rims, schwalbe pro one 30mm in the back and 28mm on front works great. Front was too tight for the 30mm.

Wife not liking it living in the house but because it’s sooo pretty I think even she is coming around 😂

Definitely started my Italian love affair
