Off on holiday last summer

The car is just as fantastic as the bikes..!

yes indeed. it was straight out of the box when the picture was taken. slight tilt upwards so all sorted.

Just back from my first carbon (recycled yoghurt pot) experience in Lanzarote on a rented Bianchi - took my own pedals. Somewhat underwhelming. Twitchy. Very so. Nothing 'about it'. Much prefer the 1982 version all round, much more graceful thing altogether, even if the hills can be a bit of a grind sometimes

Ha- I bet that's the first time someone's turned up with quill pedals and Christophe toe straps to ride that carbon rental bike 😆

I love the '82 though. From the era when Bianchi pantographed everything!
