    Well,

    I'm in the process of changing bikes and have a good offer of a new Bianchi Oltre but I have heard a few dodgy stories about frames cracking and just wondering if anyone has one or has heard anything about these issues? Any advice would be great as wanna get this right... It's a lot of money!

    Dave

    You'll hear stuff about all frames cracking if you search enough. The Oltre is expensive so I can't imagine too many people have one. I have seen one at a race though. Sweet machine. I'd get one if I had the cash.

    This is your problem. It's like going to the motors forum and asking who has a 458 GT and are there issues with the gearbox. Can't say I'm not insanely jealous, super looking bike and I'd leap at the chance to own one. Frames break, but not in normal use, so you should be covered by warranty (could be problematic if second hand). Of course if you plan to race it and are worried about crashing...

    I love celeste bianchi bikes, but can't help thinking it would be like buying a red ferrari
